Is there anything new on Facebook? In order to inform young people of opportunities, especially Khmer students who aim to study abroad, LIFT is pleased to share Facebook postings and comments about scholarships to study at the University of Melbourne in Australia.

According to this posting from Scholarship for Cambodia, Australia will pay the full tuition fee, a living allowance of $24,653 a year and the plane tickets for 38 students.

In response, to this posting, we have observed that there are hundreds of related likes, shares and comments. For example:
