What do Scholarship Winners say? 
Winner of the Founder's Scholarship 2024
In my journey of growing up and pursuing education, I have faced many difficulties and at times wanted to give up on my dreams while balancing studies and work. From a nine-year-old girl who had never been to school, I now have the opportunity to study at British University Vietnam. I am truly fortunate to have met people who love and are willing to help me, and because of that, I always maintain a positive mindset and believe that good things will happen if we put our heart into our work and persevere every day.
I have never wanted to be the best, but rather to be someone of value in the community. Therefore, I always remind myself: Be the reason others believe in kindness and the power of inner strength.
