The SIIT Graduate Scholarship is a fully funded award offered by the Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology (SIIT) at Thammasat University in Thailand for students pursuing Master's and PhD study. International applicants are considered under the EFS scholarship scheme, while Thai citizens apply for the ETS scheme, and the programme covers Engineering, Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and Logistics and Supply Chain Engineering. There is no application fee, applications are submitted online, and an English proficiency test certificate is not required at the application stage. The Master's scholarship runs for 2 years and the doctoral scholarship for 3 years. Benefits include full tuition and thesis support, a monthly living allowance of 10,000 baht for Master's students and 15,000 baht for doctoral students, a contribution of up to 10,000 baht towards visa fees and airport taxes, round-trip economy airfare to Thailand, and health and accident insurance for the scholarship period. Master's applicants need a Bachelor's GPA of at least 2.75 and PhD applicants a Master's GPA of at least 3.50.
