Recently, Phuong Thao won a full scholarship worth more than 2.1 billion VND at Fulbright University (Ho Chi Minh City).

Tran Phuong Thao and her friend won First Prize in the Science and Technology Competition for the 2022-2023 school year with the topic "Device to support object searching for the visually impaired using artificial intelligence AI".

About ten years ago, Thao’s parents left the lychee growing area to work in Hanoi. Their jobs were unstable, their incomes were uncertain, and the whole family lived in a cramped rented house, but her parents always tried to create conditions for their daughter to learn English. The love of foreign languages ​​was planted from a young age, and gradually grew, becoming Phuong Thao’s strength during her high school years.

With the “key” of foreign language, Thao boldly registered to participate in knowledge exchange and English competitions with domestic and international friends. Each activity and trip brought her interesting things about the new land, made more good friends, learned a lot of useful knowledge, especially the confidence needed by young people in the era of global integration.

Due to difficult family circumstances, in 2017, Phuong Thao's parents had to leave their hometown to work abroad. From Hanoi, the female student and her younger brother moved back to their hometown to live under the care and love of her grandparents and uncles. Although they are not together, the words of encouragement from her parents from afar always motivate their daughter to achieve academic success.

In grade 12, Phuong Thao and her classmates researched the product "Device to support object searching for the visually impaired using artificial intelligence AI". The place where she studies is not far from the Luc Ngan District Association for the Blind. With the guidance of her teachers, she and her classmates applied the knowledge they learned to research and design a type of glasses that can support object searching. The finished product was tested with members of the District Association for the Blind. This highly applicable model is one of the 5 products that won First Prize at the Science and Technology Competition for the 2022-2023 school year organized by the Department of Education and Training.

"Hunting" for scholarships with foreign language skills and social activities

Sharing about her scholarship hunting journey, the female student from the district school said that in grade 9, she won a 70% scholarship at TH School - an international private inter-level school in Hanoi. However, Phuong Thao did not study but continued to look for better opportunities with the hope of reducing the financial burden on her family. In October 2022, knowing that Fulbright University Vietnam was enrolling students for the 2023-2027 course, she applied. This is a private university based in Ho Chi Minh City with 100% funding from the US Government that Phuong Thao dreamed of because of its modern study program, using English entirely in teaching and communication.

Tran Phuong Thao received a full scholarship from Fulbright University (Ho Chi Minh City).

Before competing with thousands of candidates from all over the country, many of whom studied at famous specialized schools and selective classes, had impressive academic records, and had international-standard IELTS certificates, Phuong Thao tried to complete her profile with her own unique style. The new student shared on social networks that there are many sample essays, but young people should not follow a stereotype. The two most important factors when writing an essay are to learn about the school and find out what makes you special. The international environment emphasizes differences and contributions to the community.

Therefore, instead of talking about themselves, through specific jobs, candidates prove to the school their abilities. Thanks to participating in many projects, cultural exchange activities, knowledge exchange with students from many countries around the world, internship experiences in different environments such as: Volunteering to support exam season, volunteering at SOS Children's Village Vietnam, intern at Khan Academy Vietnam (non-profit educational organization in Vietnam) ... Phuong Thao quickly completed her profile, essay and interview with excellent results.

  Phuong Thao said.

When they heard the news that I won a full scholarship worth more than 2.1 billion VND for 4 years of study, my parents from far away were very happy and proud.
This result also affirms the spirit of "3 proactive" that Phuong Thao pursues: Proactively changing herself - Proactively creating opportunities - Proactively integrating. In which, proactively changing herself includes being well equipped with 4 skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in English, life experience, scientific and technical research, advanced technology. According to the plan, in the first 2 years of the university program (liberal arts), Phuong Thao will study the fields of: Technology, Society, Vietnamese Studies and Communication; from the 3rd year onwards, she will study the major according to her registered wishes.

Talking about her current plans, the new student said that she is organizing the “Pay It Forward” program to provide free support to students who wish to apply for scholarships, participate in international cultural exchange programs, make scientific and technical products, and find internship opportunities at businesses. From her own experience, Phuong Thao is willing to share her knowledge and support many young people from her hometown to reach their dreams. In addition, the female student also focuses on studying, continuing to conquer new heights of knowledge.
