Accredited degrees, certificates or diplomas provided online by international universities
Financial support for Myanmar students to pursue online higher education programs from international universities, accessible from anywhere.
The Prospect Burma Online Scholarship programme was launched in 2023. It is an initiative aimed at supporting students from Myanmar who face significant barriers to higher education in their home country. The scholarship is specifically designed for students who are unable to attend university due to challenges such as conflict, instability, forced displacement, or financial hardship.
It provides financial assistance to Myanmar students who wish to pursue fully online international university programmes, allowing them to access quality education without the need to relocate.
This programme is particularly valuable for students who cannot leave Myanmar but still want to obtain internationally recognized qualifications.
Our online scholarship programme offers several key advantages:

Here are some tips to help you prepare before you apply for an online scholarship:
When applying to a university, or to a scholarship provider such as Prospect Burma, you will be expected to outline why you have applied for a particular course, and how it will help you contribute to Myanmar's development.
It is never too early to think about what you want to achieve in life. What problems do you want to solve? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What do you enjoy? What gives you fulfilment?
Think about these questions first. Then, you can research how you might achieve your ambitions. You may not need to go to university at all. If your career plan does require a degree, research which courses will give you relevant knowledge and skills to help you find the right career path.
Only then should you consider applying to university. If you have good ambitions, and a good plan as to how your study will realise those ambitions, your application will be stronger and more likely to succeed.
Once you have identified your area of study, take the following steps to ensure you make an informed decision:

We support students who demonstrate financial need and are committed to contributing to the development of Myanmar.
Our awards are intended to assist with tuition fees, laptop purchase, academic course materials, internet stipends, and research allowances (if necessary). The Prospect Burma online scholarship, however, does not cover costs associated with living expenses, food, travel, or debts.
If you are successful in your application for continued funding you will be asked to sign and return another grant letter. You will need to provide a receipt and copy of your bank statement once you have received your grant.
If you are successful in your application for an online scholarship, you will be notified via email and must fulfil the following obligations:
If a scholarship recipient fails to fulfil the above obligations, they may be liable to repay the scholarship and will not be eligible for future awards.
Decisions on awards are made by Prospect Burma's scholarship committee and are final. Anyone submitting false documents, making untrue statements or failing to disclose all relevant information will NOT receive a grant.
If you are selected as a successful Prospect Burma scholar, you will be required to attend an online scholars' orientation session. We hold these sessions twice a year so that there will be one which is most appropriately timed for you. During the session, we will cover the following topics:
We will issue an official grant letter to you after you win the award, which you'll receive by email. Once you have received this, you are required to sign and return it back to Prospect Burma by email to onlinescholarships@prospectburma.org, within an agreed time period.
We will introduce you to fellow scholars studying the same programme and/or attending the same university. For example, if you are studying Education Administration, we will connect you with a current Prospect Burma online scholar in a similar field.
As a Prospect Burma scholar, you will be paired with an experienced mentor who will provide guidance and support to help you achieve your academic and professional goals.
Studying at an online university can be challenging. As a Prospect Burma scholar, you will have access to mental health services, including confidential individual counselling sessions and mental health awareness workshops.
If you have any problems, concerns or queries during your online study, the Prospect Burma team are here to help you. We can be contacted via email, Viber and Zoom. You will be notified at the start of your scholarship which member of the team you can contact.
We will expect you to attend a Prospect Burma graduation ceremony, to provide updates of your work in the years ahead, and to contribute to Prospect Burma alumni networking opportunities as they become available. Find out more.
