The document discusses scholarships provided by the Open Society Foundation for Burmese students to study abroad, particularly refugees. It notes that the foundation was established in 1994 to provide educational opportunities for Burmese from various backgrounds who are qualified but lack financial resources. In 2012, scholarships were awarded that helped relieve financial worries and allowed recipients to focus more on schoolwork, with the goal of gaining skills and knowledge to help build a more peaceful society back home in Myanmar. The conclusion emphasizes that education can help develop society through both modern knowledge and Buddhist teachings of peace.
