Scholarships are one of the policies of higher education institutions to attract talented students. These “huge” scholarship packages not only provide financial support, but also provide students with many training opportunities for comprehensive development.
For example, the Talent Incubation Program from High School level of Hanoi National University (VNU 12+) aims to discover, attract, train and provide early career guidance for excellent high school students. The goal of the program is to create a source of training, fostering and developing a team of scientists who meet international standards in the future, especially scientists in the field of basic science .
Not only Hanoi National University, many higher education institutions have developed scholarship policies to improve input quality, aiming to train high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of science, technology and innovation development of the country. One example is the Math and AI Talent Incubation Scholarship Fund worth 25 billion VND, lasting until 2026 of Ho Chi Minh City National University.
Similarly, the University of Science and Technology - Danang University awards scholarships worth 50 - 70 million VND to new students who are directly admitted and have achieved high results in national and international competitions for excellent students. These scholarship policies not only aim to develop the fields of technology, engineering, and artificial intelligence, but also meet the demand for key human resources towards international standards.
On the other hand, some universities have established scholarship policies to attract students to majors with limited enrollment sources to solve the problem of supply-demand imbalance. Majors in the fields of Natural Sciences, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Social Services, Life Sciences, Environment and Environmental Protection have all been in a state of under-enrollment in recent years.
While these are traditional industries and the demand for human resources, especially high-quality human resources, is very high, Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry has developed attractive policies for difficult-to-recruit professions such as special scholarships and job commitments for students.
Each school’s scholarship policy reflects its own development strategy. It can be a priority to support students who overcome difficulties and excel in their studies, aiming to improve the quality of training or focusing on developing human resources for key industries to meet the development speed of the high-tech sector. However, in the scholarship package structure of higher education institutions, there is a harmony between the policies of encouraging learning and encouraging talent.
Many poor students, especially first-year students, can enroll, cover tuition and living expenses thanks to scholarship support. Some scholarship funds prioritize first- and second-year students with the view that students from third year and above can overcome financial difficulties through part-time job opportunities.
Meanwhile, first-year students will be confused when changing their living environment, so finding part-time jobs is more difficult. The scholarship criteria are not only for students with high entrance scores, but also support those with special circumstances and clear learning goals.
In the trend of promoting university autonomy, especially financial autonomy, tuition fees are a significant source of revenue not only for non-public universities, but also for the public university system.
Scholarship packages aimed at supporting students in difficult circumstances and vulnerable groups in society are a way for higher education institutions to fulfill their community responsibilities. For students in difficult circumstances, scholarships help them reduce financial barriers, create equal opportunities in enjoying education so that they can advance through their own education and knowledge.
