Khao Lak, Thailand, 28 August 2025:  Devasom Resorts announces the continuation of its scholarship program for the third consecutive year, demonstrating ongoing commitment to foster local community through education.

Each scholarship provides comprehensive support, covering full tuition and educational materials for the recipient's entire bachelor's degree program. The program's non-binding structure allows recipients to pursue their chosen careers without obligation to Devasom.

Pursuing Academic Dreams

The 2025 scholarship recipient, Sakda Thonglek from Takua Pa, Phang Nga, will study in the Faculty of Education at Thaksin University. An exceptional student from Takuapa-Senanukul School with a 3.91 GPAX, Sakda is also a beach volleyball athlete who represented his region at national competitions. His combination of academic excellence and athletic achievement exemplifies the calibre of students this program seeks.

"This scholarship is a turning point in my life. I had decided not to continue my education due to my household financial difficulties, but now I can build my future. I feel I have received so many opportunities, and if I have any chances to provide those opportunities to others, I will do it.," shares Sakda. "My dream is to become a teacher somewhere in Thailand, forming youth sports teams that bring recognition through regional and national competitions. Most importantly, I will help provide opportunities for others whenever I can."

Devasom is proud to encourage this young gentleman in pursuing his dreams of combining education and athletics to inspire young people.

Community-Centred Impact

"This scholarship program represents our contribution to Thailand's future, enabling youths who will shape communities for years to come," explains Is Atirak, Co-founder and Managing Director of Devasom Resorts.

The scholarship aligns with Devasom's broader social responsibility initiatives, including the Artist in Residence program, cultural heritage preservation, and projects that support the local ways of life.

About Devasom Scholarship

Launched in 2023, the Devasom Scholarship Program provides educational funding to exceptional local students pursuing bachelor's degrees. Each scholarship covers full tuition and educational materials with a unique non-binding structure that allows graduates complete freedom in their career choices.

The program has successfully aided three scholars to date, each with remarkable stories of growth and achievement.

Miss Supawida Chupradit (2023), currently in her third year studying Electrical Engineering in the Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (5-year Bachelor's program) with an impressive 3.93 GPA, reflects on her journey: "This scholarship has opened opportunities and paved the way for me to pursue quality education in what I'm passionate about. I've gained both theoretical knowledge and practical experience through internships. I've had the opportunity to be part of the student administration, organising university activities which helped me grow personally while building relationships within our faculty. I'm grateful to Devasom for providing me with such wonderful opportunities."

Mr. Phutawan Pleekarn (2024), pursuing Law at Walailak University (4-year program) in his second year, shares: "This scholarship supports both my studies and university life, allowing me to study in my chosen faculty and pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer who provides free legal services to those who cannot afford legal representation, ensuring justice for all. Without this scholarship, I wouldn't be able to follow my dream. I've had the opportunity to serve in student administration as a committee member for student discipline development and promotion, organising various activities throughout the academic year."

Both scholars exemplify the program's success in nurturing academic excellence while maintaining strong community connections and leadership development.

This ongoing initiative reflects Devasom's commitment to sustainable development, recognising education as the foundation for lasting positive change in local areas and beyond.
