UEH Strengthens Support Programs for Underprivileged Students from Developing Nations and Disadvantaged Areas
In pursuit of equal access to education for all, the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH) has intensified its scholarship and support programs for international students from developing countries and domestic students from rural regions. These initiatives aim to empower talented young individuals to overcome financial barriers and excel in their studies.
Financial aid policies for international students at UEH
In addition to financial aid policies for domestic students, UEH has expanded its scholarship policies for international students from developing nations. In 2023, UEH awarded 50 scholarships to students from Laos and Cambodia, 10 scholarships to students from Cuba, and 40 additional scholarships to students from other developing countries.

Each year, UEH provides significant scholarships for outstanding new students, including those from challenging backgrounds. In 2023, the university awarded 900 scholarships to high-achieving and financially disadvantaged students. Of these, 165 were designated for incoming students facing financial hardship, while 90 special admissions scholarships were awarded to Mekong Delta students admitted to three key programs at UEH-Vinh Long Campus (KSV): Technology and Innovation, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, and Agricultural Business. This support provides a strong foundation for producing a new generation of high-quality, well-rounded professionals, embodying the ethos of “Unbounded creativity. Empowered futures. Holistic values.”
