Established in 2011, this is the fifth cohort of the Asia Foundation STEM Scholarship Program, implemented in collaboration with Hanoi University of Civil Engineering. Students will receive support from their first year of university in 2025 until graduation in the summer of 2030.
For the fifth cohort, the Foundation will support 11 students pursuing STEM-related majors at engineering schools in Hanoi from 2025 to 2030. These 11 students are female students who received Asia Foundation scholarships for three years of high school and will continue to receive Asia Foundation STEM scholarships upon entering university this year. Currently, students from cohorts I, II, and III have graduated and all have stable jobs with good salaries compared to the general average. In the future, Asia Foundation will continue to seek funding for this scholarship program to attract and create more female human resources to work in STEM-related fields in Vietnam.
