A university student received 8 billion VND in scholarships from a business.

At the opening ceremony this morning, September 25th, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages ​​and Information Technology did not accept congratulatory flowers from organizations, businesses, and partners. Instead, the university encouraged these organizations to transfer the funds intended for flower donations to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to support people in the northern provinces and cities in overcoming difficulties and damage after the storms and floods.

Previously, faculty and students of the school had also raised over 215 million VND to support people in the North.

On the occasion of the start of the new academic year, dozens of partner businesses and organizations also contributed to the school's student support fund with a total scholarship value of 8 billion VND.

Along with corporate scholarships, the leaders of Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages ​​and Information Technology said that in this new school year, the scholarship fund and support fund for students will increase to encourage students' learning spirit.

Specifically, the scholarship fund for students in the 2024-2025 school year has a total value of 11 billion VND. In addition, the student support fund with a total value of 13 billion VND this year will support students in difficult circumstances to borrow money to cover tuition fees without having to pay interest.

At the opening ceremony, the two top-scoring students were awarded scholarships covering 50% of tuition fees for the 2024-2025 academic year (approximately 25 million VND per scholarship). If they maintain their academic performance, these two top-scoring students will continue to receive scholarships in subsequent years. The total scholarship value for the entire course is 100 million VND per scholarship. In addition, the school also awarded 36 scholarships to top-scoring students in each major, each worth 25% of tuition fees.

Also on this occasion, Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages ​​and Information Technology received the Certificate of Educational Accreditation for the Oriental Studies major from the Center for Educational Quality Accreditation - Ho Chi Minh City National University, increasing the number of accredited programs to 7.

Cherish your time.

At the opening ceremony, Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Rector of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages ​​and Information Technology, delivered a long and heartfelt speech to the new students. He particularly shared insights on how to manage time effectively.

Dr. Tuan advised over 5,000 new students: "Everyone's time is limited. Therefore, you should cherish your time. Always remember that time that passes will never return. Every day, every hour, every minute are moments that we cannot get back. So, use them meaningfully."

Set yourself clear goals and plans. Don’t waste time on useless things. I hope that each year that passes, you will gain a new understanding of life, your career and yourself. Learn to love and be compassionate so that we can live a meaningful and rewarding youth.

We want you to not only become good at your job, but also be kind-hearted people who know how to love and help those around you. Because true success is not only measured by money or fame, but also by how many other people you have helped and changed their lives."
