With proper preparation and appropriate strategies, students can absolutely win valuable scholarships.

In addition to these outstanding faces, every year many FPT Hanoi High School students receive scholarships from domestic and foreign universities with values ranging from hundreds of millions to billions of VND. So what makes FPT Hanoi High School students' profiles stand out among thousands of talented candidates? Behind these impressive achievements is a long preparation process, requiring perseverance, clear strategies and the ability to make good use of the learning environment to maximize potential.
1. Prepare early and develop comprehensively
Early preparation is an important factor in helping students build a strong profile, not only in terms of academic performance but also in terms of extracurricular activities, research and social contributions. Students who receive major scholarships are not only good in class but also proactively participate in real-life projects, academic playgrounds or develop their own creative ideas. A personal project or research with a unique mark is always a big plus for the admissions board.

Ever since she was a student at FPT High School in Hanoi, Hoang Kim Ngan has built an impressive profile, not only with excellent academic achievements but also participating in valuable extracurricular activities. She shared: "The university chose you because they believe you will become a success story. Your project may not be big, but with the school's support, it will have the opportunity to develop."
1. Learning outcomes and ability to apply knowledge
A high GPA and a good IELTS or SAT score will certainly give students an advantage. However, what really makes the difference is the ability to flexibly apply knowledge, connect theory to practice, and apply critical thinking. Students who know how to turn knowledge into a problem-solving tool will always stand out to the admissions committee.
Nguyen Ngoc Doan Trang is a typical example. She not only maintains excellent academic performance but also skillfully combines extracurricular activities, builds a comprehensive profile and wins 8 international scholarships worth 23 billion VND.

1. Extracurricular activities and leadership skills
In addition to academics, extracurricular activities are an important factor in highlighting a student’s profile. Scholarship review boards are always looking for candidates who have leadership abilities and create value for the community. Participating in organizations, leading clubs or implementing social projects helps students develop soft skills, demonstrate responsibility, time management and problem-solving abilities.
Do Minh Anh realized that scores or the number of activities are not the deciding factors. She understood that a convincing profile must demonstrate personality and self-worth. Therefore, Minh Anh proactively participated in many competitions and activities from business, Business Case, Robotics, law, rhetoric to debate right from her first years at FPT High School Hanoi.

4. Personal essay and sincerity
The personal essay is an important factor in helping students make an impression on the admissions committee. A good essay should not only list achievements but also demonstrate personality, motivation and learning goals. Real-life experiences from extracurricular activities, lessons learned from failure or moments that changed your thinking can be valuable material for your essay.
Doan Trang shared: “I focused on telling my story in my own way, clearly expressing my thoughts, values and motivations. The important thing is not the embellishment, but the sincerity and individuality.” That is why Doan Trang’s personal essay helped her “score points” with the admissions board.
Prestigious scholarships are not only the result of years of hard work but also a testament to knowing how to take advantage of opportunities to develop yourself. Each scholarship hunting journey is a journey of discovering limits, overcoming challenges and asserting yourself.
