Mahidol Wittayanusorn School (Thai: โรงเรียนมหิดลวิทยานุสรณ์; RTGS: Mahidon Witthayanuson), also known colloquially as Mahidol Wit, Mahidol Witt, MWIT or MWITS, is a secondary school in Thailand. On the Salaya Campus of Mahidol University in Nakhon Pathom Province, it enrols Mathayom 4–6 (grades 10–12) students, and is the first specialised science school in the country, designed to provide education for the development of gifted and talented students in science and mathematics. The school is unique among Thai schools in that it functions as an autonomous public organisation, and receives direct funding from the government of up to 100,000 baht per student, which means that all students are awarded a full scholarship for three years, including accommodation. Since its conception in 2000, the school has rapidly become one of the most prominent schools in Thailand, with intense competition for enrolment. (20,871 students sat the school's entrance examination in 2009, while the school enrols 240 students annually.)
