Prince Mahidol Award Youth Program (PMAYP), Prince Mahidol Award Foundation under the Royal Patronage has been established on 20th November 2007 according to the 2nd/2007 consensus of the Board of Trustees for Prince Mahidol Award Foundation under the Royal Patronage. The program aims to inspire and to facilitate Thai youths studying medicine to pursue their dedicated life for the benefit of mankind following the footsteps of HRH Prince Mahidol of Songkla, the Royal Father of late His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, for his exemplary contributions to the advancement of medicine, public health, and human services.

Each year, the steering committee, the working committee, and the selection committee will select up to five applicants who meet the criteria, and nominate them to get a final decision from the Board of Trustees of the Prince Mahidol Award Foundation, of which HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is the president. 

Successful applicants will receive a scholarship for working by training or studying abroad, as proposed by the scholars, with full support from the foundation for 12 months. This overseas professional working/training/studying period of the scholarship recipients is considered as a part of their three-year contract time after medical school graduation.
