“Our organization’s objectives align with Fulbright’s. We wish to ensure that we are fully committed to enriching the educational experience for students – and their families too.

And we hope – there will be many more like this to come, as our collaboration continues to grow.”

Each of the seven scholarship recipients will receive a financial aid package of 120,000,000 VND.
