Oxford Thai Foundation Scholarship — Master's Scholarship

The Oxford Thai Foundation Scholarship supports outstanding candidates connected to Thailand who wish to complete the University of Oxford’s one-year Master of Public Policy. It is externally funded by the Oxford Thai Foundation and requires an Oxford MPP offer.

Recipients study full-time in Oxford on an applied public-policy degree. The foundation presents the scholarship as a way to develop future Thai public leaders and strengthen public-policy expertise.

Benefits & funding

Awards vary from full funding to partial scholarships; the official Oxford listing does not publish fixed award values.
The scholarship supports study on the 12-month, full-time MPP, which requires attendance in Oxford.

Eligibility

Applicants must hold an offer for the Oxford Master of Public Policy.
Applicants must either be ordinarily resident in Thailand or be Thai nationals committed to returning to Thailand soon after completing their studies to contribute through public service.
MPP applicants need a first-class or strong upper second-class undergraduate degree, or an equivalent qualification, and must meet Oxford’s higher-level English requirement.
The MPP has no fixed work-experience or age requirement; professional experience is viewed favourably, and most successful candidates have at least one or two years.
