Global: Start of FY2024 Panasonic Scholarship Asia Activities
Panasonic Scholarship Asia is a community-based program to foster next-generation youth that provides support to students at universities and vocational training schools in Asian countries and regions.Award ceremonies for these scholarship students have kicked off from the Philippines with the full-scale start of FY2024 activities.
Panasonic Scholarship Asia is a scholarship program launched in 1998 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Panasonic's founding, inspired by the philosophy that it is talented human beings who create sustainable societies.Currently it is active in nine countries and regions: Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Following our founder Konosuke Matsushita's philosophy to "develop people before making products," it provides educational support for economic aspects, a Philosophy Learning program as guiding principles for life, and support for ongoing networking after the students have completed their studies.
Going forward it will actively develop original support in each country and region, such as skill training and internships, in collaboration with local group companies.
