Young people from underrepresented demographics often face challenges on the road to higher education.

Between societal discrimination, a lack of community on college campuses, cultural differences, and other struggles, there are many obstacles that minority students may face in the academic world. International students, in particular, often face additional burdens, such as language barriers and the limited availability of financial aid.

This scholarship aims to make higher education more accessible by supporting Vietnamese students throughout their academic journeys.

Any Vietnamese or Vietnamese-American undergraduate or graduate student may apply for this scholarship opportunity.

To apply, tell us how your Vietnamese heritage has impacted your educational journey so far. Additionally, be sure to mention if you’re an international student. You may also choose to submit a video.
