Van Hien University commits 1 billion dong to support disadvantaged students

Van Hien University is setting aside 1 billion dong for 55 scholarships under Tuoi Tre newspaper’s “Supporting Students to School” program. The awards will go to disadvantaged students who are admitted to and enroll at the university in 2026.

Five of the scholarships are special awards worth 50 million dong per student over four years. Trần Huy Hoàng, the university’s standing vice president, said the school wanted to do more than provide money. It also aimed to give young people confidence and support as they used education to change their futures.

“

No young person with a dream, determination and aspiration to study should want to stop at the door of a university lecture hall.

Hoàng said the university had again contributed 1 billion dong after supporting the program the previous year. He described the commitment as a long-term view that investment in education means investment in people and society’s future.

“

Investing in education is investing in people and in the long-term future of society.

The university will also establish a 150 billion dong scholarship fund with multiple scholarship programs and support policies in 2026. Hoàng said financial pressure includes not only tuition but also living costs throughout a student’s course of study, so helping someone enter university is not enough. Support must help students complete the journey.

He said students should not lose access to higher education solely because of their family’s financial situation. The scholarships will support both outstanding students and those with the determination and ambition to become outstanding in the future.

When a young person has ability and ambition but must stop because of financial hardship, society may be losing a valuable source of future human resources.
