Lien said that to achieve such academic success, she didn't attend any extra classes, mainly learning from school and self-studying at home, and utilizing resources on the internet. She focused on improving her English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Nguyen Ngoc Lien has always set her sights on excelling in her studies and securing scholarships to ease the burden on her parents. Her mother works at the Women's Association of Pho Moi Ward, and her father works in the railway industry; the family's livelihood depends solely on her parents' monthly salaries, which also cover her education. With her achievements, in 2019 Lien won scholarships from four American universities: Whiworth University (3.5 billion VND); Eimia College (2.4 billion VND); Whittier College (2.2 billion VND); and Fulbright University Vietnam (1.5 billion VND). Lien rejected three American universities and chose Fulbright University Vietnam (located in Ho Chi Minh City) with a 1.5 billion VND scholarship for four years to be closer to home. Lien will begin her studies in September 2019.
