Many universities in Ho Chi Minh City support students affected by storm No. 3

Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics (UEH) has implemented the programs "Support Scholarship" and "Extension of Tuition Payment Time" for students in the northern provinces affected by storm No. 3 in 2024.

Specifically, UEH will award 100 scholarships, each worth 10 million VND, to disadvantaged students of courses 47, 48, 49 and 50, with permanent residence in 26 northern localities directly affected by storm No. 3. The school will accept applications from disadvantaged students from now until September 25, 2024.

At the same time, UEH also extended the deadline for paying the first semester tuition fee until January 15, 2025. All UEH staff and employees joined hands to support at least 1 day's salary, contributing to help people in the northern provinces and cities quickly overcome the damage caused by storms and floods.

Ho Chi Minh City Open University has reviewed and counted more than 300 students of all courses, residing in the northern provinces and cities affected by storms and floods. The school has decided to award more than 300 "Support to School" scholarships with a total value of up to 1 billion VND to students. The scholarship program will be reviewed this September and is expected to be awarded to eligible students in October 2024.

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Minh Ha, Rector of Ho Chi Minh City Open University, said that along with scholarships, the school will continue to monitor and take necessary measures to support students in terms of material and spiritual matters to ensure that their studies are not interrupted by objective factors such as natural disasters and floods.
