Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA)

The Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA) serves as the principal government body overseeing Thailand’s international development cooperation initiatives. Established to advance sustainable development and strengthen global partnerships, TICA administers comprehensive scholarship programs designed for international students from developing nations. These educational opportunities typically encompass full financial support including tuition coverage, monthly living stipends, accommodation arrangements, and academic expense allowances for undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programs across Thailand’s higher education institutions.
