The American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AmCham Vietnam) on Saturday granted 60 scholarships to top final-year students at HCMC-based universities.
Nearly 600 students from 10 universities, including University of Technology, University of Natural Sciences, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Economics and Law, University of Information Technology, International University, Hoa Sen University, Foreign Trade University, Banking University, and University of Law, applied for the scholarship.
After completing a four-round selection process, including application form screening, English language test, ability assessment, and interview in English, 60 applicants received the top awards. Of these, forty applicants received “AmCham Scholar” awards valued at US$500 each, plus US$380 training vouchers. In addition, 20 applicants received “Honorable Mentions” and US$300 training vouchers for their performance in the first three rounds of the AmCham Scholarship selection process. “The AmCham Scholarship is not only a monetary award, but also a challenge for the students to undergo a selection process similar to that used by most leading organizations,” Herb Cochran, executive director of AmCham Vietnam, said at the award ceremony.
To celebrate the 10th year of AmCham Scholarships, the HCMC People’s Committee awarded certificates of merit to AmCham Vietnam and the Executive Director of AmCham Vietnam, and Herb Cochran, for his contributions through the scholarship program to HCMC students.
