Honda Young Engineer and Scientist’s Award (“Y-E-S Award”) program has been successfully launched in Vietnam in 2006, in India in 2007, in Laos and Cambodia in 2008, in Myanmar in 2014, and was introduced in Bangladesh in 2019 to support the development and promotion of young leaders to spearhead the growth of these countries in the future.

Program Outline

Stage One: Y-E-S Award

We award four brilliant undergraduate students selected from the Cambodian affiliated universities with a prize grant worth US$3,000.

Stage Two: Y-E-S Award Plus

All Y-E-S Award awardees become eligible for the Y-E-S Award Plus, a non-restricted scholarship fund if, within four years after they received the Y-E-S Award, they are admitted to either of the following:

A master’s or doctoral course at a Japanese graduate school under the auspices (sponsorship) of the Japanese government. These students will receive US$10,000 as the Y-E-S Award Plus.
Internship program offered by a Japanese university, research institute, or company—a program between over ten weeks. These students will receive US$7,000 as the Y-E-S Award Plus.

Additionally, if they come to Japan again after the internship for a master’s or doctoral course, they will receive a preparation fee of $3,000 as the Y-E-S Award Plus Expansion.
