On 21 June 2016, Samdech Techo Hun Sen wrote on his Facebook page that his family received 39 top-class health students at his home and offered them scholarships for their academic years 2015 through to 2018, and 2016 through to 2019. Samdech Techo wrote that in the immediate term, Cambodia has twenty specializations in its need. He asked those scholarships winners to make efforts in their studies, while hoping that their parents will find this gesture a relief for them to find money to pay for their school fees. He urged those students to stay away from debauchery for the sake of their studies and future.
Samdech Techo also made a comparison that at this time 39 years ago, in his youth, Samdech led an army to fight against the regime of Pol Pot, while at this time now, Samdech is offering scholarships to students to continue their studies for the sake of their futures. Samdech Techo reminded those students who received scholarships today that they are lucky to have lived in a peaceful Cambodia, in which they could have more chances to study higher. Samdech conveyed hope that the students will make good use of the scholarships for their futures./.
