It is a longstanding policy of the Sunshine Group to support hotel staff and their families. One practical way of doing this has been to contribute towards the education expenses of the children of loyal hotel staff members through the awarding of scholarships. Each year, scholarships provided by the Sunshine Group are aimed at encouraging their staff member’s children to get the most out of education.
This year, Sunshine Hotels & Resorts awarded 101 scholarships worth 217,500 baht to children of hotel staff employed in the eight hotels and resorts of the Sunshine Group: Sunshine Garden Resort (11 scholarships), The Green Park Resort (20 scholarships), Sunshine Vista (7 scholarships), Sunshine Hotel & Residences (14 scholarships), The Sun Xclusive (3 scholarships) and Ravindra beach Resort & Spa (46 scholarships). Loma Resort & Spa and Sunshine One Hotel Pattaya had no eligible recipients.
Kindergarten scholarships were valued at 1,500 baht, those for primary school level (grades 1 - 6) at 2,000 baht, high school level (years 1 - 6) at 2,500 baht, and bachelor degree level at 3,000 baht.
