RE: Announcement of CDSSEA Scholarships for Applicants from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand Wishing to do a Master’s Program in Development Studies at the Asian Institute of Technology, Chiang Mai University or Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, 2014

Dear Colleagues,

The ‘Consortium of Development Studies in Southeast Asia’ (CDSSEA) is pleased to announce its offer of master’s scholarships for the 2014 academic year to successful applicants from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and Thailand.  The CDSSEA program, which is comprised of the three leading development studies programs in Thailand, namely the MA in International Development Studies (MAIDS) at Chulalongkorn University, the M.Sc. in Gender and Development Studies (MGDS) at the Asian Institute of Technology and the MA in Social Science (Development Studies) (MASS) at Chiang Mai University, has been established with the aim of building leadership skills related to development studies among young and mid-career researchers in Southeast Asia - to strengthen the level of knowledge in the region regarding the regionalization of development and regional connectivity, in line with the emergence of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

Under the CDSSEA, we offer scholarships to those who would like to further their study of development issues at one of the three programs mentioned above. Scholarships will be awarded to successful candidates from Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam (CLMV) and Thailand.

Please note that the deadline for CDSSEA scholarship application is 30 April, 2014. We would very much appreciate it if you could distribute this information to anyone who might be interested in applying for the scholarship, and have attached a brochure for your information.
