In 2024, many universities will increase tuition fees according to the roadmap of Decree 97/2023/ND-CP dated December 31, 2023 of the Government regulating the mechanism for collecting and managing tuition fees for educational institutions in the national education system and policies on tuition exemption and reduction, support for learning costs, and service prices in the field of education and training. Along with that, many schools also increased scholarship policies for students under the policy and also for technical and technological majors.
Autonomous schools increase scholarships
According to Dr. Nguyen Trung Nhan, Head of Training Department, Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, in 2024, the school's tuition fees will be adjusted to increase slightly (ranging from 30-44 million VND/year, depending on the training major) according to the roadmap of Decree 97/2023/ND-CP. However, along with that, the school will increase the scholarship level for policy students and disadvantaged students who are not policy students.
Specifically, from 2024 onwards, the school will exempt or reduce tuition fees for students who are children of teachers, female students studying technical majors, students in difficult circumstances, students with high achievements in excellent student exams... In addition to exempting or reducing tuition fees, the scholarship policy to encourage learning will also be increased, with a level of 100% -130% of tuition fees. For female students studying technical and technological majors, the school will consider reducing tuition fees, with a reduction of up to 40%. This tuition reduction will be maintained throughout the study process if the student achieves good results (2.5/4 points, calculated according to the cumulative score of the credit system) or higher.
Meanwhile, Dr. Thai Doan Thanh, Vice Principal of Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry and Trade, said that 2024 is the first year the school applies a policy of exempting or reducing 50% of first semester tuition fees for some engineering majors. Along with that, the school has allocated more than 40 billion VND from the scholarship fund and student support fund to award scholarships to students who have overcome difficulties and support poor students and students in difficult circumstances.
Along with implementing the new tuition fee regulations, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law has developed a plan to care for and support students. Dr. Le Truong Son, Principal of the school, informed that in 2024, the school will allocate tuition fee revenue to establish scholarship funds and support students according to regulations (up to nearly 28 billion VND/year); increase the fund for developing scientific and technological activities of lecturers and students to 20 billion VND/year. At the same time, the school will provide financial compensation to implement the policy of exempting and reducing tuition fees for policy beneficiaries and students in difficult circumstances; maintain flexibility in the time of paying tuition fees (extending the payment time); extend the time of paying tuition fees for students in difficulty.
Diverse support policies for new students
In addition to fixed scholarship programs from funds set aside according to regulations and support from businesses, this year, many public and private universities also offer many attractive admission scholarship programs to support new students.

Luu Thi Lan Phuong, Deputy Director of the Admissions Consulting Center, Van Hien University, in addition to scholarship programs such as Talent Scholarship, Lifetime Learning Scholarship with 30%-100% tuition fee exemption and reduction every year, the school has an admission scholarship policy for many candidates. The school's Student Care Center will review and guide new students to access scholarship programs, such as new students from 26-60 years old will have their tuition fees exempted or reduced by the school from 35%-100% for the entire course. Particularly, students with difficult circumstances and policy beneficiaries will be supported with 70% of the entire course tuition; students who have lost their father or mother will be supported with 50% of the entire course tuition.
Similarly, Dr. Tran Ai Cam, Principal of Nguyen Tat Thanh University, said that in 2024, the school will apply many scholarship policies for new students admitted to the school (20% - 100% reduction in tuition fees for the first year). Students admitted to the fields of Traffic Construction Engineering, Hospital Management, Industrial Systems Engineering, Vietnamese Studies, Computer Networks and Data Communications, Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, International Relations, Interior Design, Chemical Engineering Technology, Biotechnology will receive a 50% reduction in tuition fees for the entire course.
