Projects to support development opportunities for female students
Walailak University recognizes the importance of encouraging women to have equal access to university projects and services.
1. Scholarship services for students to provide equal educational opportunities, especially students who face financial problems regardless of gender. The scholarship includes annual general scholarship, continuing scholarship until graduation, and government student loan funds. It was found that female students received more scholarships than male students according to the proportion of more female students.
2. Health consultations through Smile & Smart Center. The center is responsible for providing health consultation services for every student who are stressed and worried to understand themselves with goals and solutions, and promoting potential development activities. The center also organizes special programs for taking care of pregnant female students so that they do not need to quit studying. Through the helping process from the university, the center helps students with cost restrictions and coordinate with support agencies to provide students with welfare for antenatal care and medical expenses until the student gave birth. The center also consults with the family so that students continue their studies with the same expectation of graduating as other fellow students.
