Each year the selected universities conduct the preliminary review of student applications. After that, LSTF will conduct another round of review (including a document review and interview) in order to determine the final list of scholarship recipients. Whether or not students receive our scholarship in the second semester depends on the documents submitted. The chart below highlights this process.

Notes:

1. Schools will submit a list of students together with their applications to our foundation within one month of receiving notification. After the indicated period, applications will not be accepted.

According to the assessment and review, our foundation distributes the indicated amount below to students.

1. Each university/ college student is given a scholarship of VND 7,000,000 for each semester. In total: VND 14,000,000 / 2 semesters/ 10 months.
2. Each high school student is given a scholarship of VND 3,150,000 for each semester. In total: VND 6,300,000 / 2 semesters/ 9 months.
3. Other scholarships are set according to each school’s unique circumstances.

Notes:

• Scholarship recipients are requested to open bank accounts at Vietcombank; the foundation shall remit the monthly scholarship into their bank accounts.
• Students please check carefully and ensure their own Vietcombank account is still functional and can conduct transactions (money transfer and receipt) when informed about the scholarship transfer time. In the case, where LSTF makes the scholarship transfer and is refunded because the student's scholarship account number is blocked after the student has confirmed with the teacher in charge of the scholarship at the school, and cannot receive the scholarship, LSTF will NOT transfer the scholarship of the receiving period again. 

• Scholarship recipients shall have responsibilities to participate in activities organized by the foundation and shall not be absent without reasonable excuse.

Till now (Dec 2022), LSTF has awarded 6,768 scholarships with a total value of more than VND 54 billion (about USD 2,626,264) through 20 scholarship ceremonies. According to our follow-up research, these students continue performing well and graduate at a rate of 100%. Among them, there are high school students going abroad for further education and those that continued their studies at leading universities in Vietnam. For instance, Vo Hiep Thanh studied at Luong Van Chanh High School in Phu Yen province and has won the Olympic gold medal of the Southern provinces in 2017 and 2018 as well as the second prize of the 2019 National HSG.

With regard to students from colleges and universities, many have successfully graduated from schools and embarked on their careers in well-known companies. Some have received our scholarship and continued to pursue their master/PhD studies abroad. Many scholarship recipients from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City have been retained by the school to receive further training in order to become lecturers or master's students. Mr Phan Cong Chien has previously received our and currently serves as a Resident Doctor/ General Practitioner.
