Some Observations Application Drop. The overall decrease in enrolment in Aug 09 by
about -17% seem to reflect the institute-wide reduction of -21% in applications.
Decrease in Donor-Funded Scholarships. Of the schools, the most affected is SERD which rely primarily on full scholarships since most of its programs target disadvantaged sectors.
For example, 45 Netherlands scholarships were available in 2007 but no longer available in 2008 and 2009; CIDA, France, Austria ADA, STARR Foundation full master's scholarships are also no longer available in 2009. We also received a reduced number of Norwegian and Sida scholarships in 2009 as compared to 2007 and 2008.
Decrease in Sponsored Scholarships from HEC Pakistan, UOB Pakistan, MOAC Thailand, MOET Vietnam, IFP-Ford Foundation, EVN, PetroVietnam, etc.
Decrease in Externally-Funded Students, for example from NSTDA, Rajamangala University of Technology-Thailand, Department of Highways – Thailand, Indonesian Agency for Agricultural Research & Dev't (IAARD) – Indonesia, etc.

“It is our collective obligation to face the situation with the right balance of short-term focus and long-term ambition, for ourselves and for the generations whose opportunities will be shaped by our choices…
….For Harvard, as for many other colleges and universities, our challenge is to confront the new economic realities and intelligently adapt ourselves to them, while at the same time affirming and strengthening the enterprise of learning and discovery that lies at the heart of what we do.”
Drew Faust, President of HarvardFebruary 2009

“We need to rebuild and strengthen our economies as well as regenerate sustainable growth and development. ASEAN is well placed to do this, but it will have to be a collective effort on the part of governments and all sectors of society. The private sector in particular has an important role to play”.
