Kasikornbank (KBank)
KBank Scholarship (Kasikornbank)
Kasikornbank's yearly scholarship for people who will come back to work on its strategic projects. There are two tracks: the Annual Scholarship for graduates under 30, and the Young Scholarship for final-year students and new graduates under 23. The field is open as long as the university is on the bank's list.
Application round
KBank Scholarship 2026 was announced on 11 May 2026 and took applications until 30 June 2026 via a Microsoft Form on kasikornbank.com/kbankscholarship, with documents emailed to the scholarship team. First screening was in July, a hackathon bootcamp in August, an executive panel in September and the final interview in October.
Next round
KBank Scholarship 2027 is expected to open around May 2027 and close at the end of June, as the 2026 round did. Plan your IELTS for early 2027 so the result is valid and in hand.
The IELTS requirement
The eligibility list requires a valid English result: IELTS 6.5 or higher, TOEFL iBT 80 to 100, or TOEFL ITP 550. The document checklist marks the score report "if available", so you may be able to send it after the form, but selection runs quickly (screening in July, bootcamp in August, interviews in September and October), so treat the June deadline as the date your IELTS 6.5 must be ready. The Annual track also needs a university admission letter at application.
