Explanation
ทุนการศึกษา is made from ทุน, meaning funds or capital, and การศึกษา, meaning education or studies. It is a normal word, but it often appears in formal or institutional contexts such as schools, universities, application guidelines, government programs, and foundation grants. Common verbs used with it include ได้รับ “receive,” ได้ “get,” สมัคร “apply for,” มอบ “award,” and ให้ “give.” The classifier is ทุน.
Usage
Use this word when talking about financial support for school, university, study abroad, research, need-based aid, or merit-based awards. It appears naturally in university information, applications, interviews, news, and everyday conversations about education.
Caution
Do not use this word for business capital or investment funds; use ทุน for that. Also, repayment rules depend on the program, so it is safer to ask ต้องใช้คืนไหม, “Does it need to be repaid?” when that matters.
