The University of Cambodia (UC) is seeking funding to construct student dormitories that will serve up to 500 university students at a time. Currently, no such facilities exist on UC campus, although there is land available for their construction. Most of our student body is from rural areas, particularly girls, needing safe, clean, convenient, and affordable accommodations during their university studies. Dormitory will help to promote a safe environment that is conducive to learning and studying, and will make it easier for the students to participate in academic and extracurricular activities offered by UC.
On-campus dormitories will support the academic and personal development of students who will be housed in these facilities. The existence of a dormitory facility will also help to strengthen the capacity of UC staff members who will manage the facility and who will create and maintain programs associated with the facility (e.g., leadership training programs, etc.). Generous funding of this proposal will have a substantial impact on student learning at UC, and will
alleviate some of the obstacles Cambodian students face while they pursue their university degree.
Roughly 5% of Cambodians are enrolled in tertiary education, and this figure is expected to grow every year as a result of national and institutional efforts aimed at increasing the number of college educated students in Cambodia. The university is poised to grow in the upcoming five years and it anticipates a substantial increase in student enrollment (300-400%) and the number of students who will need local accommodations.
There is a high demand for student housing. Currently, the University of Cambodia does not have any dormitory facility for its student. An on-campus dormitory would greatly benefit students who are most at-risk for not completing their university degrees due to financial hardship, family obligations, and geographic remoteness.
