Description

The program “Graduate with Ajinomoto Foundation’s Scholarship” from Ajinomoto Foundation helped students with good academics performance, but lacked financial support, which would drive our country further. Other than the funding for students at all year level totaling 6.5 million baht, the foundation also provided various opportunities to help students develop in other aspects e.g. leadership, teamwork, etc. through volunteer camps and internships.

Full-time internship activities with Ajinomoto Group in Thailand had been offered to students annually, focusing on “do real work, think real work and operate real work.” The students had the opportunities to learn on the job, with professional staffs to coach and guide, performed individual projects, and made English presentation after the internship and evaluated. The academic year was the first year in which the scholarship students got involved. There were 10 scholars in 7 company affiliates as follows.
