An inspiring story: A 100% Full-Tuition scholarship for a Freshman
Among hundreds of touching stories, the image of Phạm Quốc Dũng — a freshman at Van Hien University — moved the entire audience to tears.
The extraordinary resilience of Phạm Quốc Dũng
Phạm Quốc Dũng lost his father before he was born and was raised by his maternal grandparents. After his grandmother passed away, Dũng had to fend for himself — studying while working every possible job to cover living expenses and pursue his dream of higher education. His incredible determination stands as a shining example of the spirit of learning against all odds.
Immediate action: Van Hien doesn’t just give scholarships — We Give Futures
Upon hearing Dũng’s story, the Board of Rectors of Van Hien University made an immediate decision:
• Award a 100% full-tuition scholarship for all 4 years of his university studies.
• Provide an on-campus job opportunity so he can earn income and continue his education with peace of mind.
“We don’t just want to help students attend university — we want them to have the confidence to fully pursue knowledge,” a university representative shared.
This is practical, meaningful support that clearly reflects Van Hien’s commitment: we are not only a place to study, but a home that nurtures compassion and humanity.
