The Government Science and Technology Scholarship (GSTS) program historically supports scholarships in the fields of metals, materials science and energy, electronics and computer technology, biotechnology and environment, basic science, science and technology management, and nanotechnology. The scholarship allocation has been continuously and increasingly adjusted to balance the scholars\u2019 fields of study with the national demand in social and economic development. The current 13th national economic and social development plan strategizes 4 development dimensions and 13 targets to transform the country. Building from that, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research, and Innovation (MESHI) reforms its policy of 2020 to 2027 by managing 4 strategic activity platforms. Therefore, GSTS currently allocates new scholarships based on the portfolio management principle and categorizes them into 4 baskets corresponding to the MESHI\u2019s 4 strategies plus 1 basket for miscellaneous fields (altogether 5 baskets total). The table below displays the expected allocations of scholarship types into 5 different scholarship portfolio baskets.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
