Personal Profile

Admission Applicant

I completed my GED after a two‑year break from school and continued learning through migrant learning center, an A+ Computer Hardware & Software course, volunteering, and work experience. Growing up as a Myanmar migrant student with limited resources has been challenging, but it made me more responsible, independent, and determined to use education to change my life.

Why Computer Engineering?

Most people see only the screen and keyboard, but I always want to know what happens inside. I am curious how metal and silicon can work together and follow logic to make decisions.

This curiosity led me to a three‑month course in Computer Hardware and Software Basics. I realized I want to go deeper into physics, mathematics, and circuit principles.

Motivation & Purpose

The political and economic situation in Myanmar has strongly affected my family, and we cannot afford a four‑year international programme, even though they fully support my dream of studying Computer Engineering. This is why I am applying for the Multi‑Intellectuals Scholarship and the GMS Country Scholarship, which are designed to support students from countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion, including Myanmar, so that financial barriers do not stop us from accessing quality education.

My personal journey—from earning the GED through migrant learning center after a two‑year education gap to completing an A+ Hardware & Software course and volunteering in digital literacy projects—has shown that I can learn independently, work hard, and use technology to help others, not only myself. In the future, I want to use my skills in computer engineering to improve technology infrastructure and digital access in Myanmar and the wider GMS region, especially for communities facing conflict, migration, or limited resources like mine, so that education and information become more accessible and fair.
