My sister-in-law has become involved with this project since moving to Bangkok with my brothers work earlier this year. Since hearing about the amazing work you do I had to donate and be a small part in the story . I’d love to visit one day and meet some of the girls for myself. Helen R 

We visited the girls we sponsor in Amnaad Chroen province and it was truly heartwarming.  Most of the girls have difficult family situations and we felt like our help would open opportunities for them that they would not have otherwise.  A great program!

Having had the opportunity to visit some of the scholarship girls in rural Thailand, I believe in this program wholeheartedly. We are giving them a boost for a better future with the gift of education. 

The gift of education is a gift that keeps giving!  It has been amazing to meet all the AWC scholarship students over the years and know we are making a difference in the lives of Thai young women.

I'm an expat living in Thailand. I'm happy to have a way to give back to the Thai people who have welcomed me to their country!

Honored to help woman with their education! 💕



Girls deserve the chance to go to school.

Founded in 1995, the AWC Scholarship Program provides rural, low income Thai girls with scholarships to complete high school.

The AWC Scholarship Program awards scholarships annually to female high school students in 28 schools across 21 provinces in central and northern Thailand. In the 2023/24 school year, our donors sponsored 250 students.

Each $180 USD scholarship allows a student to pay the extra, mandatory costs of high school that are not covered by the government (books, uniforms, supplies, meals and transportation). These costs can be prohibitive to low income families and often girls have to leave school because their families cannot pay them.

Eligibility criteria for young women in grades 10-12 (M4-M6) are good academic performance (> 2.5GPA), a low family income, good behavior and a commitment to education while building a sustainable community. ​

​We organize two school/home visit trips each year which gives us the opportunity to meet about 40 of our sponsored students. Watch our [school visit video](https:/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zOVhiBNZRM&t=1s) to share in the highlights of our trip to Nakhon Phanom.

Our students consistently greet us with enthusiasm, appreciation and, best of all, huge smiles. In each school, we meet with staff and students, host book and English clubs and have fun interacting with our students. On our last visit, the girls did their best to teach us Thai dancing.

The American Women's Club of Thailand (AWC) is a nonpolitical, volunteer, not-for-profit association organized in 1956. Our mission is to promote friendship among all women and to serve the people of Thailand through charitable, social, and cultural activities.
