Overcoming challenges, four students 'win' UK scholarships

The winners of the UK Ambassador's Scholarships are the most outstanding individuals, typical of a generation of all-round leaders.

Affirmation of competence

In addition to need-based scholarships, most major scholarships focus on merit-based scholarships. In particular, fully-funded scholarships from educational environments in developed countries always require students to demonstrate themselves in an impressive way and break through their limits.

Typically, the 4 new champions of the British Ambassador Scholarship of British University Vietnam (BUV) won full scholarships worth up to 1 billion VND. The 4 champions not only bravely surpassed hundreds of other excellent candidates, but also had a meaningful journey of inspiration.

The Journey of Four Champions

Nguyen Minh Trang from Amsterdam High School for the Gifted in Hanoi has won a scholarship with an inspiring story. Overcoming gender stereotypes, Trang only truly feels like herself with short hair, and rolling around with the orange ball in a sport that is thought to be for boys.

During her three years in high school, Trang maintained an excellent academic record with an average GPA of over 9.3, an IELTS score of 7.5, and was the captain of the school basketball team. Despite suffering a broken bone and a ligament injury six months before the season, Trang was determined to win three gold medals and two silver medals at the Hanoi Basketball Tournament.

In the future, short-haired student Minh Trang chooses to pursue Contemporary Creative Applications to freely express her personality. She wants to inspire many other girls on their journey to find their own ideals, as Trang always aims for: 'empower women unbound by society's constraints'.

Nguyen Linh Dan from Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted in Nghe An always aspires to conquer the highest steps. From testing herself in volunteer activities, debate competitions, Model United Nations (MUN), to the new feat of winning a 100% scholarship for International Business at BUV, the girl from Nghe An once again shows that as long as you dare to dream, there is no limit to success.

Linh Dan's initiative and confidence are plus points for her to score and become the owner of the prestigious UK Ambassador Scholarship.

Regarding Pham An Khanh, the judges remembered her as a 'multi-talented' young person, participating in many extracurricular activities with impressive numbers: Raising 2 billion VND for the organization 'Mental State of Children Ecosystem', participating and organizing nearly 10 music events in Hanoi with a total audience of up to several thousand people...

The above figures have affirmed An Khanh's spirit of breaking the limits. In the near future, everyone will know An Khanh as a new student majoring in 'Management Economics' with a sustainable development orientation for the Vietnamese economy.

As the only boy among the four winners of the UK Ambassador Scholarship, Thieu Gia Minh (Luong The Vinh High School, Hanoi) has a natural talent for art, winning third prize in the Hanoi Piano Competition, and is also the President of the English Club for three years of high school, in charge of design and communications for the Vietnamese Mania Championship event... along with impressive academic achievements.

But Gia Minh surprised many people when he shared that he is a gamer. Gia Minh is troubled by the fact that games - a sport that trains quick reactions, team spirit, and strategic thinking - are still considered 'useless' by most adults. He dreams of a future where the game industry is properly invested and developed to compete fairly with the region and the world.

Gia Minh sees BUV's full scholarship in the field of Games Art as a valuable opportunity to satisfy his passion and realize his dream.

Gia Minh excitedly showed off his achievements after the ceremony.

With the skills and knowledge acquired from the new environment, we are confident that the journey of the 4 winners of the UK Ambassador Scholarship in particular and the leading generation of new students at BUV in general will continue to flourish.
