No scholarships but student loans

Sharing during the meeting, Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Hai Quan, Director of Ho Chi Minh City National University, shared: "I really hope that in one way or another, the province will have a fund for students to borrow money to study. Not to provide scholarships but to provide students with loans to be responsible, loans to have a commitment to return to work. Like Singapore, they provide scholarships for Vietnamese students to study, but after finishing their studies, they must stay and work for them for 4-5 years. I hope that the locality and businesses will accompany excellent students, helping them have the opportunity to access university education."

"People say that contributions can be made anywhere, but contributions can be direct and indirect, large and small. But if you want to contribute directly and make a large contribution, you have to come back, because it is difficult to do it far away. Therefore, we need a model and a way to accompany Dong Thap province in training human resources," the Director of Ho Chi Minh City National University hopes.
