Where will the money go and how is it used?

July 14th, 2017

All donations will go to the to-be-established AIT Endowment Foundation (proposed to be under the Patronage of HRH Princess Sirindhorn). Its management will be under the supervision of the Foundation Board (FB) chaired by HRH Princess Sirindhorn, and composed of representatives of AIT stakeholders.

Donors are allowed to specify choices on how the principal and/or its earning are used. A list of priorities shall be developed by FB, based on the identified needs in furtherance of AIT’s strategic sustainability in these two areas:

1) To strengthen AIT’s tradition of being a higher education hub/platform for top students from all over Asia to live and study together. This can be achieved by providing generous scholarships to attract the top students in Asia; and

2) To revitalize AIT’s faculty resource with dynamic input from all over the world. This can be achieved by establishing “HRH Princess Sirindhorn Scholars” program for 10 world-class scholars to spend visiting periods at AIT every year. The program’s prestige will be ensured through the kind patronage of HRH Princess Sirindhorn, the vision of the Foundation Board and the selection of world-class scholars.
