Where can you study?
The scholarship can be used to support your study at any university or college outside of Myanmar, from which you already have a letter of acceptance or have applied for admission. We particularly welcome applications to study at universities which offer reduced tuition fees for certain courses. See the list of universities and courses offering full or partial fee waivers for Prospect Burma scholars here.
What can you study?
A Prospect Burma scholarship can be used to support your study of any bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, PhD or equivalents. However, you must demonstrate to us how the qualification will help you benefit people in Myanmar.
We do not choose or select a university or course for you and will not offer advice. We will, however, provide guidance in our information sessions to help you in this process. Applicants must clearly demonstrate how their chosen field of study will contribute to Myanmar’s development and social progress.
We prefer that you have already applied to and been accepted at your chosen university and provide evidence for this in the scholarship application process. If you have not yet been able to gain admittance, please explain this in your scholarship application. See the application form requirements for more details.
What else should you consider when choosing an in-person university programme?
- University credibility: Verify the legitimacy of your chosen university.
- Programme details: Admission requirements, application date, fees, study duration.
- English requirements: Check the university’s language requirements and ensure you meet them.
- Tuition fee waivers: In addition to our partner universities, some universities offer reduced fees for Myanmar students – contact the university to confirm.
- Scholarship opportunities: Some universities partner with non-profits, offering more affordable tuition.
- Study Commitment: Be realistic about how much effort you can consistently dedicate to your studies.
