Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhung, Head of the Co May Dormitory Management Board, shared: “This year, the dormitory planned to accommodate 100 students. However, Ms. Nguyen Ngoc Oanh, wife of Mr. Pham Van Ben, the owner of the Co May private enterprise and founder of the dormitory, noticed that many students have special circumstances such as being orphans, having sick parents, selling lottery tickets, collecting scrap metal, etc. In addition, students from Thua Thien Hue and Quang Tri provinces, whose families suffered heavy losses due to storms and floods, decided to increase the number to 116 students.”
Students residing in the Co May dormitory receive tuition fee support each semester and weekly meal allowances. Furthermore, students are supported in learning foreign languages and computer skills to meet the university's graduation requirements. While residing in the dormitory, students also have the opportunity to study and develop soft skills and physical fitness.

Nguyen Van Khanh, a first-year student at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry, originally from Quang Tri province, was moved to tears upon arriving in Ho Chi Minh City to study: “My hometown is flooded, my family’s belongings are submerged in water, and our crops are waterlogged. My mother, grandmother, and sisters are at home battling the floods.” Khanh added that he feels fortunate and happy to be enrolled in the Co May Dormitory. He will no longer have to worry about tuition fees or transportation costs. The Co May Dormitory scholarship has helped him continue pursuing his dream of attending university.
When asked about his financial concerns, Nguyen Van Thanh, a second-year student at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry, said: "Tuition fees are the biggest burden on my mother's shoulders. Therefore, I feel truly happy and grateful to receive timely support from the Co May Dormitory. It's a great motivation for me to fulfill my dream."
Similarly, Le Ngoc Nhu Y, a first-year student at the University of Finance and Marketing, expressed: “Life here helps us feel less homesick. I consider this place a real family. Co May Dormitory has created all the favorable conditions, both in terms of facilities and spirit, to help me realize my dreams and aspirations.”
To apply for the Co May dormitory, students must come from impoverished or disadvantaged backgrounds, be orphaned (either father or mother deceased), lack the financial means to continue their studies, and be high-achieving high school students. Priority will be given to high-achieving students at the district, provincial, or city level, and those with high scores in the National University of Ho Chi Minh City's aptitude test. Additionally, students who maintain their scholarship for the following semester, achieve an academic average of 8 out of 10 (on a 10-point scale) or 3.5 out of 4 (on a 4-point scale) as an excellent student, or are ranked in the top 10% of their faculty or major, will be considered to have received the scholarship. |
