Under the agreement, Prudential will sponsor Chevening scholarships for three consecutive years from 2025 to 2028, with a total funding value of up to £120,000 equivalent to VND4 billion. Each year, two scholarships will be awarded to outstanding candidates, to support them to study master's programs at leading universities in the UK.

Chevening Scholarships are fully funded master’s scholarships in the UK, awarded to candidates with outstanding academic and professional achievements, leadership potential and community contribution. Funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCDO) and partner organisations, Chevening Scholarships provide full financial support for candidates to study a master’s degree at a UK university, and the opportunity to participate in a range of unique academic, professional and cultural activities.
