80 billion VND S80 scholarship for 'Generation Rising'

On November 6, SunUni Academy launched the S80 International Education Scholarship program with 8,000 scholarships worth up to VND 80 billion for the young generation, those belonging to the 'rising generation'.

The "fate" of the S80 scholarship

Speaking at the scholarship launch, Mr. Nguyen Tien Nam, Chairman of SunUni Global Group, Founder of S80 Scholarship, shared: “S80 is not just a scholarship program. For us, it is a “fate”. The word “fate” began when we looked back at the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day – 80 years of fighting, building and innovating for Vietnam to have the position it has today. My father was a soldier, a veteran. When witnessing the changes of the country, he shed tears of pride. That made me realize that Vietnam has stepped up to a new position in the international arena, not only in technology, finance, but also in intelligence and national spirit”.

That word “fate” made Mr. Nam think a lot and feel the need to do something meaningful for this milestone. As an online English training unit, with no geographical limitations, applying modern technology so that anyone, anywhere in the country can access knowledge, this is also an advantage for SunUni Academy to launch an English scholarship program for everyone everywhere. However, who should it be aimed at? After consulting many opinions, Mr. Nam decided that the scholarship would be aimed at the younger generation.

“The young generation, the S80 generation, is the generation born, raised, studied and worked in Vietnam during peacetime. They are knowledgeable, courageous, able to integrate and have the desire to reach out to the world . When looking to the next 20 years - the milestone of the 100th anniversary of National Day - we believe that Vietnam will become a rich, civilized and developed country. And the S80 generation will be the force to turn that vision into reality. Today, we are not only giving scholarships. We are sowing seeds for the future, building a civilized - confident - brilliant S80 generation,” Mr. Nam said at the launch.

From that idea, the S80 International Education Scholarship program was born. With a nationwide scale, the S80 scholarship offers a series of practical learning opportunities: 8,000 English scholarships, supporting up to 70% of tuition fees; 8,000 premium ELSA Business accounts, helping to practice pronunciation and reflexes to international standards; 8 inspirational scholarships, honoring students with efforts and a spirit of advancement.

In particular, not only stopping at the educational goal, the S80 scholarship also carries the mission of gratitude and sharing with 80 free full scholarships for children, siblings, and grandchildren of war invalids, martyrs, people with meritorious services to the revolution, and children and siblings of soldiers on duty at the border and islands; 80 full scholarships worth 7.56 billion VND for outstanding students nationwide, those who have inspirational articles on the topic "The S80 Generation Rising". Each scholarship awarded is a message of social responsibility, gratitude, and the aspiration to serve the country with knowledge.

"Fate" to accompany

During the preparation for the scholarship program, SunUni Academy leaders traveled across the country, meeting with many partners to share their desire to support this idea. On the day the scholarship was launched, many organizations joined hands to develop the young generation. These are great "destiny relationships" and the meaning of the program. Thanh Nien Newspaper also decided to continue this "destiny" and accompany SunUni Academy to spread the scholarship more strongly.

According to journalist Nguyen Thi Tuyet Nhung, S80 is not simply 8,000 scholarships but will be 8,000 opportunities, 8,000 dreams and 8,000 life-changing stories.

Speaking at the launch, journalist Nguyen Thi Tuyet Nhung, Editorial Board Member, Deputy Secretary General of Thanh Nien Newspaper, shared: “In nearly 40 years of establishment and development, Thanh Nien Newspaper is not only the press agency of the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, but also a trusted companion of young people across the country on the path of studying, establishing themselves and starting a career. We always keep in mind that education and knowledge are the foundation of sustainable development, and foreign languages ​​are the bridge for the young generation of Vietnam to deeply integrate with the world. With that spirit, Thanh Nien Newspaper greatly appreciates the opportunity to accompany SunUni Academy in implementing the S80 Generation Rising Scholarship program. This is not only a learning support program, but also a journey to spread the belief, aspiration and will to rise of Vietnamese youth. S80 is not simply 8,000 scholarships for 2 advanced training courses, it is 80 scholarships 100% for children of policy families and meritorious people, which will be 8,000 opportunities, 8,000 dreams and 8,000 life-changing stories".

The launch of the S80 International Education Scholarship program at this time is also very appropriate, when the Government has approved the Project "Making English the second language in schools for the period 2025 - 2035, with a vision to 2045". Students who benefit from this scholarship will be supported more strongly to have full knowledge, courage, integration ability and the desire to reach out to the world.
