Being nominated for the Vingroup Scholarship is a valuable opportunity for me to get exposed to state-of-the-art educational institutions, where I can improve my research performance and enhance career promotion prospects. This also marks a significant milestone in my academic journey toward integration into the international scientific community, where I can share my learning and research spirit with others, especially the young generation. I genuinely believe that Vingroup Scholarship is always one of the greatest choices for any scholar who seeks to make a meaningful impact in their expertise and contribute to the development of science and education in Vietnam.
Receiving the Vingroup Scholarship is a tremendous honor that allows me to fulfill my lifelong aspiration of becoming a bridge between Vietnam and the U.S. in advancing medical innovation and healthcare delivery. This opportunity not only supports my academic pursuits but also connects me with a network of visionary leaders and scholars dedicated to making a significant impact.

I am very honored to be selected for the joint Integrated Degree Program with the University of Pennsylvania and to receive the prestigious Vingroup Scholarship. This is a critical step in my academic journey, allowing me to focus on my coursework and research and join a fellowship of people who want to make impactful changes to Vietnam. The Vingroup Science and Technology scholarship is not just an investment in my education; it’s an investment in a future where Vietnamese agriculture and healthcare thrive – a future I am eager to write.
I am honored to be awarded the Vingroup Science and Technology and VinUni-Illinois Smart Health Center Scholarship. This prestigious award opens doors to a world of opportunities, enabling me to study at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign—one of the top-ranked graduates in the world, particularly in the field of Bioengineering. Pursuing a PhD in Bioengineering at UIUC is a stepping stone that will help me step closer to fulfilling my goal of creating low-cost biosensors to diagnose cancer in low- and middle-income countries.
When I received the offer from the Vingroup Science & Technology Scholarship, I was on cloud nine. I will make my dream (becoming a Doctor of Phylosophy) a reality and continue to produce impactful medicinal researches. Upon my return to Vietnam, I will make contributions to medicine as a qualified researcher, as a capable doctor, and as an inspiring lecturer. As a Vingroup scholar, I will make an effort to recommend this scholarship to other Vietnamese students through social media.
It is a speechless moment and being awarded this scholarship has been one of the greatest encouragements on my research journey so far. I have also got connected with many great minds of my generations, and they have also given me insightful suggestions and comments to improve myself. I believe what Vingroup Scholarship has provided me was not only financial support to attain my goals, but also a supportive community that can accompany me through the protracted quest toward those goals.
am honored to be awarded the Vingroup Science and Technology Scholarship, which not only provides me with the opportunity to connect with a remarkable network of researchers but also enhances my prospects for pursuing advanced studies at Duke University. As a top-ranked graduate school in the US, known for its specialization in statistical science, Duke University offers the ideal platform to further develop my knowledge and skills in this field. As a result, my aim is to bring the knowledge and expertise gained back to Vietnam, with the intention of strengthening and optimizing educational systems in the country.
Without the Vingroup Scholarship, I would not be able to attend my dream institution. I am very much honored to be selected as a Vingroup Scholar, and I hope to have a chance to support similar young and aspiring students just like myself.
