Jaspal Group solidifies its status as a leader in the fashion industry, driving Thailand’s fashion landscape forward with the Jaspal Group Scholarship Programme 2024. Going beyond the award ceremony, the group hosted a captivating runway show that spotlighted the innovative designs of this year’s winners. Themed “The Power of Next,” the programme provided a platform for young designers nationwide to unleash their creativity, breathing fresh energy into Jaspal Group’s iconic brands.
The comprehensive scholarship programme, valued at over 650,000 THB, offers winners not only financial support but also hands-on experience through internships with Jaspal Group’s top-tier designers and industry experts. Winners also benefit from tailored coaching sessions aimed at enhancing their industry expertise.
This year’s five scholarship recipients, each awarded 100,000 THB, are:
- Khwankhao Phanphitthayut and Chatchai Sriprempun from Chulalongkorn University
- Piyabud Waleekeitikul and Nichapat Kaewthamrong from Srinakharinwirot University

The programme’s highlight was the fashion show, which allowed winners to create and exhibit their own collections, all inspired by the forward-thinking “The Power of Next” concept. These collections competed for an additional distinguished scholarship award of 150,000 THB, judged on creativity, production feasibility, aesthetic appeal, and presentation. Esteemed panellists included Sethapong Pawwattana and Chanin Faikhun, leading fashion editorial executives, renowned photographer Punsiri Siriwetchapun, and Khevin Singhsachathet, General Manager of Jaspal Group.
