ASEAN in Today’s World (AsTW)
ASEAN in Today’s World (AsTW)
AsTW is a three-week international programme on Asian languages & cultures and ASEAN studies. The medium of instruction is English, and AsTW is suitable for university students from around the world. Kyushu University (Japan) and Mahidol University (Thailand), two of most prestigious universities in Asia, are co-organizing the programme with the strong support from the ASEAN Secretariat.
2009 session of AsTW will convene March 12 to April 2, 2009, at the Salaya Campus of Mahidol University in Thailand. The application deadline is Januaray 13, 2009.
Structure of AsTW
AsTW consists of three parts: ASEAN Studies courses (ASC), Asian Languages & Cultures (ALC) and Field Trips, providing students with a unique study opportunity. Students select any one of the morning ALC classes and two afternoon ASC classes.
ASC gives AsTW a distinction as a comprehensive academic programme of ASEAN issues that increasingly play an important role in the world and ASEAN plus 3 relations. Students will broaden their knowledge and gain deeper understanding about ASEAN and ASEAN plus 3 cooperation through ASC taught by professors from Mahidol University, Kyushu University, and throughout ASEAN and East Asia. It will be a valuable asset of the programme that the students will be able to approach ASEAN and Asia from various directions. In addition, students will be able to select one of the five intensive Asian language programmes. The combination of ASC and ALC contributes to the students’ synthetic understanding on ASEAN and East Asia.
Several field trips will be held during the programme. Each excursion is planned in the expectation that students are able to experience some part of Thai culture and the Thai aesthetic sense.
To complete the programme, students must take at least 3 courses (one ALC and two ASCs). Students who complete the programme will be awarded a certificate jointly signed by the Presidents of Kyushu University and Mahidol University.

ASC gives AsTW a distinction as a comprehensive academic programme of ASEAN issues that increasingly play an important role in the world and ASEAN plus 3 relations. Students will broaden their knowledge and gain deeper understanding about ASEAN and ASEAN plus 3 cooperation through ASC taught by professors from Mahidol University, Kyushu University, and throughout ASEAN and East Asia. It will be a valuable asset of the programme that the students will be able to approach ASEAN and Asia from various directions. In addition, students will be able to select one of the five intensive Asian language programmes. The combination of ASC and ALC contributes to the students’ synthetic understanding on ASEAN and East Asia.
Several field trips will be held during the programme. Each excursion is planned in the expectation that students are able to experience some part of Thai culture and the Thai aesthetic sense.
To complete the programme, students must take at least 3 courses (one ALC and two ASCs). Students who complete the programme will be awarded a certificate jointly signed by the Presidents of Kyushu University and Mahidol University.

2010 Fulbright Scholarship
2010 Fulbright Open Competition Scholarship Program
GENERAL INFORMATION/PROVISIONS
To continue its mission of promoting mutual understanding between the people of the United States and Thailand through educational exchange, which has been successfully implemented throughout the past five decades, the Thailand‑United States Educational Foundation (TUSEF), also commonly known as “Fulbright”, announces its annual competition for OPEN COMPETITION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM to qualified Thai individuals for a graduate study in the United States of America for the academic year 2010.
As a “Fulbrighter” confers instant recognition of the fact that the individual has been chosen through a rigorous internationally recognized competition based on individual merit and a transparent selection process. This has been true since the Program’s inception and its reputation instantly identifies grantees as members of a worldwide community of scholars all selected on the same basis and sharing the same goal of promoting mutual understanding of Thailand and the United States of America.
Awards will be offered in a broad variety of fields with the exception of medicine, public health, nursing and allied subjects.
Up to nine grants will be available for Master’s degree candidates who will commence their studies in the academic year 2010. Out of these grants, one will be allocated specifically for a successful candidate who is from a provincial school and from a low-income family. This candidate will get full funding, from the Foundation and other sources. Grants are normally for one academic year. Grantees who require more than one year to complete the master’s degree are expected to find support from other sources for their study program in the United States beyond the initial year. However, renewal of the grants will be considered on a case by case basis.
For the academic year 2010, the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has proposed to cooperate with the Foundation in providing up to two Fulbright-SET grants for outstanding candidates to pursue master’s degree programs in the fields of Operation Research and Financial Engineering. Qualified applicants will be invited to compete under the normal selection processes, rules, and practices of the Fulbright Open Competition Scholarship Program (Please specify your interest in the application form).
Grants are intended to cover costs of tuition and fees, books and educational supplies, maintenance allowance, insurance coverage and round-trip international travel expenses from Thailand to the United States. Some of the grants may be combined with tuition waivers or other financial aid from appropriate institutions.
Deadline for application submission is April 20, 2009. No extensions will be granted in any circumstances.
