Expanding study opportunities in the United States for Vietnamese students

According to the Open Doors 2024 Report, in the 2023–2024 academic year, there will be 22,066 Vietnamese students studying at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the United States.

In his opening remarks at the Exhibition, US Ambassador Marc E. Knapper said: “The growing number of Vietnamese students studying at US universities and colleges demonstrates their appreciation for these opportunities as well as their commitment to quality academic education. By studying in the United States, Vietnamese students are equipping themselves with leadership skills to return to Vietnam and contribute to the country’s economic development goals, especially in the high-tech sector.”

The Fall 2025 EducationUSA Fair features representatives from 60 accredited U.S. colleges and universities, including top research universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges.

Tham Thai Du, a student at Maya Inter-level School, said: “I want to study in the United States because this is a modern educational environment with many advanced majors that suit my orientation, especially in the field of computer science . I believe that studying here will help me access new knowledge, practice creative thinking and professional working skills.”

Tham Thai Du hopes to find a school that fits her goals.

Creating opportunities for Vietnamese students to study in the United States, the country continues to maintain its commitment to the Fulbright program, an international educational exchange program, supporting Vietnamese scholars and professionals to pursue these activities in the United States and creating opportunities for US citizens to study, teach or conduct research abroad, including in Vietnam.

At the same time, the US Embassy affirmed that educational institutions here are offering many different levels of scholarships and support for Vietnamese students.

US Ambassador to Vietnam Marc E. Knapper said that in the context of the Vietnam-US relationship continuing to be strengthened on the basis of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, Vietnamese students returning home, with their critical thinking, leadership skills and problem-solving abilities, will become an important force contributing to Vietnam's goal of developing high-quality human resources, especially in the fields of high technology, STEM, computer science and engineering. This is also the foundation for Vietnam to promote strong and sustainable development in the future.

US Ambassador to Vietnam Marc E. Knapper said there are many scholarship and support programs for Vietnamese students.

In the coming time, the US Embassy aims to promote international cooperation and expand cooperative relations between US and Vietnamese educational institutions, and continue to build these relationships through the awarding of initial grants for STEM-related projects that Vietnamese and US universities will jointly implement. Thanks to these programs, many Vietnamese and US educational institutions have implemented new projects as well as student exchange activities.
