Since its inception in 2019, the Panasonic Scholarship has supported numerous Cambodian students in pursuing their academic and professional goals. The programme emphasises both academic excellence and practical experience, offering internships with Panasonic to equip students with valuable skills and knowledge. This holistic approach ensures scholars are well-prepared to become future leaders in their respective fields. Additionally, graduates join a vibrant alumni network that provides networking opportunities with international scholars and access to career development resources such as workshops and seminars.
