Australian Ambassador to Vietnam, Mr. Andrew Goledzinowski also commented, “ The Vingroup Science and Technology Scholarship has created opportunities for talented young Vietnamese intellectuals with great ambitions.

The program "Science and Technology Scholarship for Master's and Doctoral Degrees Studying Abroad" was established by Vingroup Corporation in 2019 with the goal of finding Vietnamese talents to nurture and develop into talented people capable of leading the development of Vietnam's science and technology in the future.

Of these, 20 people continued to study for a PhD with external scholarships; 10 people are working at large companies and corporations such as JP Morgan Chase, Global Energies... to gain practical experience before returning to Vietnam. The remaining people have completed the program and returned to the country, taking on positions as lecturers and researchers at major universities and research institutes in the country, or becoming experts and engineers at enterprises in Vietnam.
