25 years of RMIT making a positive impact on society through its scholarship program

(Dan Tri) - Over the past two decades in Vietnam, RMIT University Vietnam has awarded thousands of scholarships to many young talents in the country and around the world, fueling their ambitions to develop themselves and create positive impacts on the community.

Established at the invitation of the Vietnamese Government, since its presence in Vietnam in 2000, RMIT University Vietnam and its annual scholarship program have been awarding many meaningful scholarships throughout this journey.

With a commitment to continue investing in the scholarship program, RMIT Vietnam aims to build excellent teaching and learning, accompanying students to focus on positive changes for the community, contributing to creating a bright future for education in Vietnam and the region.

Create positive change for the community with RMIT Scholarship 2025.

"Over the past 25 years, RMIT University Vietnam has awarded more than VND645 billion in scholarships to 1,880 students from 45 provinces and cities in Vietnam and more than 29 countries around the world with outstanding achievements in the community. We are very happy that this program not only creates opportunities for learning and self-development for outstanding young people, but also through that, together with them, realizes the goal of creating positive changes for the community," said a representative of RMIT Vietnam about the vision and mission of the scholarship program at RMIT Vietnam.

Most recently, RMIT Vietnam's 2024 scholarship program received 1,900 applications for 19 categories, including foundation, undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs.

After a transparent review process, RMIT Vietnam has just awarded 105 scholarships worth more than VND53.2 billion to students from Vietnam and many other countries, welcoming students to integrate and further develop in the international educational environment right in Vietnam.

This year's scholarship award ceremony (2024) coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Fulfilling Dreams Scholarship - a pioneering initiative of RMIT Vietnam that has helped change the lives of many young people over the past decade.

Since its launch in 2014, the Fulfilling Dreams Scholarship has realised RMIT Vietnam’s commitment to providing opportunities for Vietnamese students with disabilities or financial difficulties, young people with positive personal qualities and a desire to study at university.

In addition to the full tuition fees for the English and university programs, students receiving the Dream Wings scholarship are also provided with a monthly living allowance, a laptop, and travel expenses to their hometown (if necessary). To date, the school has awarded 42 Dream Wings scholarships, with a total value of more than 70 billion VND.

As one of many students receiving the Dream Wings Scholarship, Nghiem Vu Thu Loan, a student studying Professional Communication at RMIT, shared that the scholarship has helped her continue her journey of conquering knowledge, pursuing the Communication major that she has always dreamed of, contributing to raising the voice of people with disabilities in the community.

Loan is currently the Head of the Vietnam Blind Students Network, under the Vietnam Blind Association.

The stories behind the scholarship application process show that RMIT’s call to make a positive impact on the community through its annual scholarship program has had a big impact on the young generation of Vietnam.

One typical case for this story is Do Hoang Duc Anh, a former student who won a Full Scholarship, studying Professional Communication at RMIT Vietnam.

Duc Anh was awarded the RMIT Leadership Recognition Award for students with outstanding leadership achievements in social responsibility. Currently, Duc Anh works at UNICEF and is responsible for projects related to children and adolescents in Vietnam.

Duc Anh's campaigns aim to raise public awareness, implement long-term policies and build support platforms to ensure children have a better future.

To maximize the goal of positive impact on the community, the RMIT Vietnam scholarship program has a variety of scholarships for future students with diverse academic backgrounds, interests, and concerns, not just limited to a single type of scholarship that focuses only on grades, so the opportunities for candidates are very rich.

Each student can apply for up to 3 different types of scholarships. This is also a factor that makes the humanitarian value of the scholarship program more clearly demonstrated.

In 2025, RMIT will continue to award many scholarships that promise to bring opportunities to individuals with qualities, ambitions, and dreams to accompany RMIT to create positive changes for the community and society.
