My name is Ketsarin (Ning). I am currently a Grade 7 student in Udon Thani Province.

I live with my grandparents and one older sister. My parents divorced, and my mother has had to travel to work in another province. She is able to send money to support the family only occasionally. My family lives in poverty. My grandparents are elderly and work as farmers with unstable income, yet they are responsible for covering the educational expenses of both my sister and me.

I try my best to help ease my grandparents’ burden by doing household chores and helping with small tasks whenever I can. I feel deeply concerned for them, as they have to work very hard despite their age.

I have represented my school in academic skills competitions, including mathematical equation-solving, and I am also a sepak takraw athlete for my school. Through regular and dedicated training, I was selected to represent my district cluster and compete at the education service area level.
 

“Despite financial hardship, Ketsarin studies with determination
and has represented her school in academic competitions, consistently winning awards.”
 

My dream for the future is to become a teacher, so that I can earn a stable income and take care of myself as well as my grandparents, my sister, and my mother, and help provide them with a better quality of life. For this reason, I am applying for an educational scholarship for the 2026 academic year, to help reduce my family’s educational expenses, such as school supplies and other necessary costs.

I promise to use the scholarship wisely and to the greatest benefit, to study diligently, and to never disappoint those who generously support my education.

and build a better life for her family.”
