Recently, at Fulbright University Vietnam, businessman David Duong said he would continue to award scholarships of up to 4 million USD in a symmetrical model. This 4 million USD is not part of the money donated by Fulbright board members, helping students studying at Fulbright University Vietnam. Previously, he donated 1 million USD to students of this school.
Mr. David Duong interacts with students of Fulbright University Vietnam
On the afternoon of the end of 2024, the atmosphere at Fulbright University (District 7, Ho Chi Minh City) was very exciting, because this was the first time many students of this prestigious international university were welcomed and interacted with Mr. David Duong, Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of California Waste Solutions (CWS) and Vietnam Waste Solutions Company Limited (VWS). For young people, the story of Mr. David Duong, a young Vietnamese expatriate who used to collect scrap in the land of the stars and stripes, was pitied and even despised by the world... but was determined to start a business from trash with a capital of only 700 USD, then became a billionaire, inspired and intrigued them.
The common values of businessman David Duong and Fulbright Vietnam
The session was moderated by Dr. Scott Fritzen, President of Fulbright University Vietnam. Dr. Scott Fritzen is a world-renowned public policy scholar and educational leader. Dr. Scott focuses on research and teaching on public policy and public sector reform, with a focus on anti-corruption policy design and strategic management in the public sector. His deep connection to Vietnam began in the mid-1990s, through a Fulbright scholarship.
Moderating the meeting with Mr. David Duong was Dr. Scott Fritzen, President of Fulbright University Vietnam.
It is no coincidence that Fulbright University Vietnam chose the main content of the exchange with businessman David Duong with a topic sentence containing the content: "Mr. David Duong - The journey of humility, resilience and dedication". With that topic, in a friendly and open atmosphere, Mr. David Duong humbly shared an inspirational story about the journey of resilience to overcome challenges, starting from zero to achieve great success in a foreign land.
Meanwhile, the dialogue between Dr. Scott Fritzen and his students with Mr. David Duong highlighted the achievements that vividly demonstrate the dedication of this talented businessman. The most typical of these is the commitment of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of California Waste Solutions (CWS) and Vietnam Waste Solutions Company Limited (VWS) to environmental protection, and the efforts and dedication in applying advanced technologies in waste collection and treatment in Vietnam.
Many Fulbright students were excited to interact with Mr. David Duong.
One of the most interesting messages at this exchange was the shared values between Vietnam Waste Solutions and Fulbright University Vietnam in supporting education and developing curriculum. Regarding education development, both sides committed to contributing to narrowing the education gap and actively supporting students in implementing impactful community projects. Regarding curriculum development, Fulbright University Vietnam is constantly striving to enrich the curriculum with subjects on environment and sustainable development in the sub-majors: Business, Policy and Society. This program integrates important aspects of sustainability and social benefits into business and policy education.
Fulbright University Vietnam is a university that integrates student-centered teaching methods and a liberal arts approach. For many years, Fulbright University Vietnam has provided scholarships and financial support to hardworking and disadvantaged students. Dr. Scott Fritzen said that Fulbright University Vietnam is preparing to launch an impact scholarship program for prospective students with potential in the fields of sustainable development, environmental protection, sustainable urban development and social responsibility. This scholarship will open up opportunities for students to develop breakthrough solutions and become leaders in their fields.
"Accompanying the liberal education of Fulbright University Vietnam, Mr. David Duong has actively supported the learning aspirations of many students through scholarships, while promoting the participation of the business community in nurturing the future generation of creators at Fulbright University," added Dr. Scott Fritzen.
David Duong has inspired Fulbright students with many of his startup stories.
Sharing with Thanh Nien Newspaper, Mr. David Duong said that Fulbright is an American university in Vietnam, the school has very good teaching programs. To help Vietnamese students learn good knowledge at this prestigious university to serve their homeland, we have agreed to sponsor scholarships for Fulbright University with the desire to contribute more budget for the school to support studious students with difficult circumstances to continue studying. "Hopefully in the future, when students graduate, they will bring good knowledge and good things to contribute to building their homeland, becoming useful people for society and for their families. Students receiving scholarships will be selected by the school," said Mr. David Duong.
Mr. David Duong specifically stated about this scholarship program: "I will support 5 million USD (currently contributed 1 million USD) to the Fulbright scholarship fund. The remaining 4 million USD will be contributed according to the symmetrical model. If the philanthropists support the school, we will contribute that much. For example, if they contribute 500,000 USD, we will also contribute 500,000 USD. Even if they contribute 4 million USD, we will also contribute 4 million USD immediately so that the Fulbright University scholarship will have 8 million USD immediately. Thus, the school will have double the amount of funding to help more students receive scholarships. It should be clarified that the 4 million USD scholarship that I promised to implement using this symmetrical model does not include donations from Fulbright University board members. This is also our purpose to call on more people to contribute to the Fulbright University scholarship fund."

In addition to scholarships, VWS always welcomes Fulbright University students to visit, study and learn about issues related to environmental protection, waste recycling, and waste treatment technology at the Da Phuoc Waste Treatment Complex of VWS (Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City). VWS also commits to Fulbright University that all environmental students who do not have a job after graduation can apply to work at VWS.
