Da Nang Awards Over 45 Billion VND in Scholarships to New Students

In Da Nang City, central Vietnam, educational support initiatives are gaining momentum with the start of the new academic year. Notably, Dong A University, during its opening ceremony for the 2026-2027 academic year, awarded scholarships totaling 45 billion VND (approximately 2.6 million USD) to new students. These scholarships are designated for talented and academically driven students. This significant scholarship award by Dong A University is part of broader efforts in Da Nang City to promote education across the region. Previous initiatives include the Da Nang University of Science and Technology awarding 700 million VND in scholarships to new students, and 260 scholarships provided to children of defense personnel and students, indicating consistent investment in education. Furthermore, Da Nang City is strengthening collaborations with businesses to support students' future career development. A job fair in 2026 saw the participation of 75 companies, offering hundreds of students opportunities to connect with potential employers. An experiential event focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) attracted over 6,000 students, parents, and teachers, reflecting a growing interest in nurturing future talent. These initiatives clearly demonstrate Vietnam's commitment to developing high-quality human resources and achieving overall societal progress amidst its continued economic growth. Particularly, the Vietnamese government, prioritizing socio-economic development under its one-party system, considers investment in education a key policy. Such movements in Da Nang, a provincial city, suggest a nationwide expansion of educational support. Moreover, with increasingly complex relations with China, strengthening domestic human capital holds growing strategic importance.
