S80 - A humanistic journey for a rising generation of Vietnamese

On the afternoon of November 6 in Hanoi , Thanh Nien Newspaper in collaboration with SunUni Academy organized the S80 International Education Scholarship Program Announcement Ceremony. The scholarship was launched in a special context, when the country celebrated the 80th anniversary of National Day (1945 - 2025) and the 80th anniversary of the formation of Vietnam's education sector - a period marking remarkable developments in politics , economy, and knowledge.

From a resilient nation that overcame war and hardship, Vietnam today has affirmed its position in the international arena. Vietnamese intelligence has been recognized in many global fields - and that is the time for the young generation of Vietnam to "reach out", confidently standing shoulder to shoulder with the world . That spirit is the inspiration for Thanh Nien Newspaper and SunUni Academy to initiate the S80 scholarship program, with the goal of training 8,000 outstanding citizens, possessing academic English and global communication skills.

5 guests in the discussion session "The role of English in the rising era"

The speakers agreed that English is not only a learning tool but has become the "language of opportunity" - the key to helping the young generation of Vietnam confidently reach out to the world in the era of digital economy and globalization.

S80 Scholarship - Comprehensive and sustainable English learning solution

Unlike other scholarship funds that only provide financial support, S80 offers complete companionship value. The first phase of the program will award 8,000 scholarships with up to 70% tuition reduction for international standard IELTS and Online Communication courses, along with 8,000 ELSA Business accounts worth 3.7 million VND to practice listening and speaking 24/7 using AI technology.

The program is deployed entirely online on the platform. ClassIn - interactive classroom simulation technology , helps learners actively interact with lecturers and classmates in a close learning environment, saving learning costs, travel time and contributing to reducing CO₂ emissions, towards sustainable development.

For the IELTS program, the entire course uses Cambridge standard curriculum, updated and personalized for each level. The TACTICS training method - a system of 7 exclusive learning strategies of SunUni Academy - helps students develop critical thinking, communication skills and comprehensive language skills at the same time.

The 5-star student care model - 5A standard at SunUni Academy helps learners not be alone on their journey to conquer English.

In addition, the Online Communication course uses the ThinkTalk Teaching Methods - a model that combines "thinking" (Think) and "exchange" (Talk). Learners not only memorize vocabulary or grammar, but also practice critical thinking (Critical Thinking) and natural communication (Communicative Approach) through real-life interactive situations. This is a method that helps Vietnamese people "think in English, speak confidently" - something that most traditional models have not been able to do.

Training quality is guaranteed by a team of foreign lecturers with TESOL/TEFL certificates and Vietnamese lecturers with IELTS 7.5+ graduated from leading foreign language universities.

In parallel, the exclusive 6S training model (Smart Curriculum, Signature Program, Skilled Educators, Superior Technology, Star-rated Support, Strategic Pathway) and the 5-star student care model - 5A standard help learners not be alone on their journey to conquer English.

Each student is accompanied by a personal learning advisor - who monitors progress, provides after-school tutoring, answers questions and maintains motivation. This approach helps students feel supported and able to overcome any psychological barriers during the learning process.

Not only does it have educational value, S80 also spreads a profound humanitarian spirit. In addition to 8,000 tuition-reduced scholarships, the program also offers 80 full scholarships worth more than 7.56 billion VND to children of war invalids, martyrs, and people with revolutionary contributions, and 80 full scholarships to excellent students at many schools such as: Hanoi University of Science and Technology, University of Social Sciences and Humanities - VNU-HCM, Dien Hong Secondary and High School (HCMC)...

Representatives of the S80 scholarship program's organizing committee awarded full scholarships, spreading humanistic values.

These scholarships not only provide financial support but also inspire the desire to study, contributing to nurturing a generation of young Vietnamese with solid knowledge, strong personality and readiness to integrate.

Sharing at the announcement ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Tien Nam - Chairman of SunUni Academy affirmed: " We hope that the S80 scholarship will become a companion journey, not just tuition support. Each S80 student will have access to global knowledge, be inspired and oriented to maximize their potential."
