Cambodia set to foot cadets US tuition fees
Sun, 4 July 2021
Following a decision by the US government to cut off scholarships for six Cambodian cadets halfway through their undergraduate study programmes in the US, the Cambodian government has announced that it will cover the remaining tuition costs for them totalling $1.1 million.
Political analysts in Cambodia saw the US government decision to end the scholarships as being “unreasonable” and praised the Cambodian government’s intervention as exemplifying the traditional Khmer value of compatriotic love.
The Ministry of National Defence released a press statement on July 2 stating that the government will cover all expenses for the six cadets until they complete their undergraduate programmes at the four US military academies they are variously attending.
