　PTTEP, geophysicist

"I was a recipient of MOECO scholarship for 3 academic years, in 2009-2011. The grant significantly relieved my educational expenses. Therefore, I can concentrate on the study and it enabled me to the success in the education and paved the way to my career. The scholarship also introduced me to know MOECO. MOECO is an international oil and gas exploration company that in part inspiring me to learn more about the oil and gas industry. I am appreciated that MOECO see the importance of the education and support students for a long time. Apart from the grant, one impression from that occasion is the celebration dinner in ceremony day that students have a chance to meet the scholarship provider. The company executives are very kind and we can exchange and learn from their experience. Nowadays, I have a profession as a geophysicist in a Thai petroleum exploration and production company, PTTEP. During my career I have had opportunities to works in the fields that MOECO participated. It reminds me of the scholarship and I always be grateful. I am sure that MOECO will continue this valuable support for the society. I hope MOECO will success in new explorations keeping company growing and be a leader in the industry internationally."

　Year 2013-2015

" It's been since 2015 that I graduated. My life has gone through many experiences after that. Everything I do for living since I graduated was not relate to geology at all. I was a flight attendant and recently I have just started my own business. Since MOECO decided to grant me a scholarship, I have to develop myself further more to prove that MOECO did not pick a wrong person. It inspires me to devote a lot of free time to develop myself in many ways and the results to me in the present. The past tells me "don't stop learning" and "learn to achieve". I greatly appreciate MOECO for letting me know that I am worth and I can add value for myself. Although I am not working in geology profession but I am also able to repay the scholarship by passing on the good to the society, staring from myself. I wish MOECO all the best and achieve the entire goal. I hope that the opportunity you give me will bring you endless opportunities in the future."

　Ms. Krittiyakorn Khamin

　Year 2016-2018

"I am a MOECO scholar during 2016-2018 from Department of Geological Sciences, Faculty of Science at Chiang Mai University. Today, I am writing to sincerely thank you for giving a great opportunity for the scholarship awarded. I am really appreciated the kindness that you give me. Thank you for considering me to be one of MOECO scholars. It was the first time in my life to experience a scholarship interviewing in English, which broke my safe zone and gave me confidence to overcome many situations. The MOECO scholarship supported my tuition fee, the expenses on textbooks, stationeries, fieldtrip expenses, and including language lessons. I believe that the scholarship makes a better me, I have been able to develop skills in petroleum industry from learning or listening which are very essential for my career as a mud logger. I am confident that this scholarship will provide me a great opportunity in learning and be a successful student, a keen geologist and contribute my ability to develop the country. Finally, I wish MOECO a success in the business here in Thailand and oversea. Again, thank you very much for the opportunity and kind assistance given to me."

　Mr. Natchaphol Charnsiri

　Year 2015-2017

　PTTEP, Geologist

"Firstly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to MOECO for choosing me for the scholarship. MOECO scholarship helped me got through my university life with ease and quality. It also gave me the opportunities to develop many skills that made me competent enough for my working life. For those who are currently the scholars or about to get the scholarships, Congratulations. I'm certainly sure that you are going to get a lot of chances to develop yourselves and people around you."

　Mr. Anupat Vichitbanchongdee

　Year 2018-2020

　Graduate Student at Akita University, Akita, Japan

　"For oneself, opportunities are essential for self-improvement and the future. MOECO Scholarship provided me with a meaningful opportunity, not only with money stipends but also the fuel for a dream of studying in Japan. As I am from a middle-class family, I could not securely spend money on everyday life, education, and some pleasures, even though they are not luxuries. MOECO scholarship can fulfill my needs and wants and provide emergency funds. Without this, I would not have been allowed to engage in creativity, experiment, and self-exploration in university life.

 　Moreover, I could feel the warmly welcomed environment at the annual Japanese-style party through dinner; this was my first impression of Japanese people and culture in person. From that moment, one of my wishes became to continue studying in Japan, which I accomplished. I am happily living and experiencing the beauty of Japan and further studying economic geology along with the Japanese language and culture. The MOECO Scholarship is a once-in-a-lifetime honor and a significant turning point in my life, and I really appreciate that."

　Ms. Panisara Jarungjidtanuson

　Year 2022-2024

　PTTEP, Petroleum Geologist

　"Looking back to when I was a Nisit Chula in 2018-2022, I took my interests in lots of different, unique things outside my Geology classroom. Some of my interests back then would be fossil excavation, Gulf of Thailand's microbiome, and carbon sequestration in geological formation.

　These special extracurriculum (or sometimes, personal projects) cost not only money...but also time, and serious determination. I would say that receiving annual scholarship from MOECO has enabled me to be more independent, open to exciting opportunities, widen my knowledge spectrum, and most importantly, pursue my academic goals together with many wonderful peers from different universities in Thailand and abroad.

　Thanks to MOECO's generous support throughout my self-discovery years, now I have become a person that my younger self once dreamed of. A woman in STEM. After graduating from Geology Class of 2022, I started and have been working with the Gulf of Thailand's oldest gas field. Whenever I have a chance to engage with MOECO's operating area, it brings back memories and gratitude.

I am wholeheartedly grateful for MOECO's support. I will always be reminded to stay curious, ambitious, and inspire future generations to create better today and greater tomorrow."

It allowed me to maintain focus on my studies at Chulalongkorn University, helping me develop both petroleum-related and other essential skills. Thanks to this scholarship, I successfully graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering and secured a position as a reservoir engineer at a national oil company.

　Mr. Chatpol Phongyen

　Year 2019-2021

"I formerly received the MOECO scholarship when I was a second-year student at Chulalongkorn University. I was sincerely grateful and honored to receive the valuable scholarship to support my education. It is a great opportunity to participate in significant events, including the scholarship ceremony and the dinner celebration.

The MOECO scholarship not only eased my education financial burden but also encouraged me to continue my studies to achieve my academic and professional goals during my bachelor's degree. Furthermore, this scholarship provided other disbursements supporting living expenses, textbooks, and equipment. In addition to supporting tuition fees, I used this scholarship to enhance necessary skills including coding, data science, and data analytic skills which were crucial to a career in the oil and gas industry.

Nowadays (Y2025), I am a second-year master's student in Geosystem Exploration and Petroleum Geoengineering (GEPG), at AIT. In the future, I plan to pursue study in a doctoral degree to contribute to the development of the oil and gas industry.

Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the MOECO committee for granting me a great opportunity to develop my professional and academic education. Without their generous assistance, I could not concentrate on my studies and accomplish my objectives."
