A: Students can download the K plus App to open an online account.

Step details https://www.kasikornbank.com/k-esavings-account

A: Parents’ or other persons’ accounts cannot be used to receive money because the account name must match the list of current students registered for Semester 1/64 of the university only and must be an account with the student’s first and last name only (joint accounts with others cannot be used).

A: You can use your existing Kasikornbank account and notify the Line SCMS Student system when the system is opened.

A: Because the university must submit the number and list of current students (registered in Semester 1/64) to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation to compile and submit to the government to proceed with disbursing the budget in this section.

A: All students who register in Semester 1/64 will receive 5,000 baht in government support.

For students who pay by themselves, the money will be transferred to their account.

A: “Scholarship students” means students who received a discount in the first semester of 2021, such as special quota scholarships, Portfolio scholarships, etc.

A: For the discount on the laboratory subjects in Semester 1/2021, it will appear when registering. Most universities will waive the maintenance fee for laboratory subjects. There are only 30 subjects that use Remote Programs that receive a maintenance fee discount of 30-40%.

A: Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the bank is unable to organize passbook collection activities at the university. According to the bank’s policy, if the passbook is not received within 6 months, the bank must destroy it. Therefore, students can open an online account via the K Plus App or https://www.kasikornbank.com/k-esavings-account to receive government support.

Steps to receive compensation from the government

A: After the registration deadline, the university will send the list of students who registered for Semester 1/64 and inform the account number to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation to disburse the government compensation money. If there is a definite schedule, the university will inform again.

A: Students can use accounts of other banks besides Kasikorn Bank to receive money, but there will be a fee for interbank transfers.

A: Because it is a government policy that has been jointly set with the Student Loan Fund to use the 5,000 baht relief money to deduct the total in the first semester of 2021.
