"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."

"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."

　Year 2010-2012

　Graduate Student, Texas A&M University

　College Station, TX, USA

"MOECO scholarship has provided me an opportunity to garner the best experience out of my undergraduate program at Chulalongkorn University. In 2010, when I was first selected as a MOECO Scholarship recipient during my sophomore year, I was thrilled and honored. The scholarship was not only a reflection of my hard work at school but also a vital reminder to myself that I should do my best for the rest of my undergraduate. Moreover, I was able to expose myself to many life-teaching extracurricular activities beyond classrooms, such as serving as a president of the geology student body (also known as "Union") or a co-leader of the 68th CU-TU Traditional Football Human Resources Team. Without financial support from MOECO, financial challenges might have prevented me from gaining these outside-classroom experiences that make me become who I am today. Selection processes of many scholarships may heavily base on students' intellectual merits, e.g., high GPA cut-off requirement, making most average-grade students avoid to apply for such scholarships. However, as a student who got an F grade in Physics 101, I believe that MOECO is looking for a well-rounded candidate with the potentials to make some contributions and to give back to the community. I urge everyone to apply for a MOECO scholarship if the opportunity comes knocking at your door!"

I was glad to have the opportunity to get this scholarship and join the annual party with MOECO and other scholarship students. It helps me to open a whole new world by studying in Geology without asking for any money from my parents. If there is no supporter like you, many students would be unable to follow their dreams. Thank you so much again for your generosity and support me through those 3 years."
