These scholarships are designed to attract talented learners, researchers, and future leaders from around the world, enabling them to access high-quality academic programs while reducing financial barriers.
Depending on the institution, program level, and student profile, scholarships may cover partial tuition, full tuition, living expenses, or even additional costs such as insurance and travel. Understanding the available scholarship types is the first step to planning a successful study path in Switzerland.

These include University Scholarships (offered by universities, Federal Institutes of Technology, and Universities of Applied Sciences) and Arts Scholarships (offered by music and arts schools – these are usually limited in number).
This is a full-coverage scholarship from the Swiss Government, providing monthly living expenses, full tuition fees, insurance, round-trip airfare, and other benefits as stated in the scholarship conditions.

III. Important Notes About Scholarships
Duc Anh encourages all eligible students to apply for scholarships. Our support in scholarship applications includes:
- Meeting students early to help plan their study pathway and preparation for future scholarship applications;
- Assessing the student’s actual ability and suggesting suitable scholarships to apply for;
- Helping students complete scholarship applications: reviewing, checking information, proofreading application forms, personal statements, and other documents;
- Directly submitting scholarship applications on behalf of students.
In reality, because Duc Anh represents many excellent international universities and has a large number of high-quality students, we are recognized in Vietnam as a company that is proactive in scholarship applications and has successfully obtained many scholarships – including high-value ones – for our students.
Scholarship opportunities are available to everyone. To achieve the best results, we encourage you to contact us 2-3 years before studying abroad so we can preliminarily assess your overall ability and help you plan the best preparation for future scholarship applications. Please read the general information below to better orient yourself.
Students should clearly distinguish:
- Scholarship = financial award: always limited in number and competitive;
- Grant = fixed amount: a set amount that a school/department may award if you enroll there; you may receive it automatically without additional effort;
- Bursary / Financial aid = financial support: for students with specific reasons or needs, for which you may need to provide an explanation or documentation.
Duc Anh will support you in applying for all three types: Scholarship, Grant, and Bursary/Financial aid.
Scholarship sources and levels.
Scholarships may come from the following sources, and the amount may range from 10-100% of tuition, or even full scholarships (covering tuition, accommodation, living expenses, insurance, etc.):
- The destination country: for example, Australia has AAS, the UK has Chevening, the U.S. has Fulbright, New Zealand has Asian scholarships…
- The institution you choose to attend;
- Independent organizations or agencies;
- Independent individuals;
- The Vietnamese government;
- Vietnamese agencies.
Scholarship assessment:
Except in cases of exceptionally outstanding profiles where the scholarship level can be predicted, in practice, no one can guarantee whether you will receive a scholarship. Scholarships are always awarded by scholarship committees based on core criteria:
- Academic ability: academic performance and achievements, ranked from highest to lowest;
- Time of application submission: earlier applications are more competitive than later ones;
- Specific criteria: applied for special or subject-based scholarships.
All students are advised to submit applications early, even before their documents are completely finalized, in order to “get in line” for scholarship consideration. This way, once your file is complete, you will be reviewed faster and given higher priority.
Reference: student profile strength vs. scholarship levels you can competitively apply for:
- 100% tuition scholarship: to apply, you should have GPA 95-100%; English: IELTS ≥ 7.0
- 50% tuition scholarship: GPA ≥ 92%; English: IELTS ≥ 6.5
- 30% tuition scholarship: GPA ≥ 85%; English: IELTS ≥ 6.5
- 10-20% tuition scholarship: GPA ≥ 75%; English: IELTS ≥ 6.0
Scholarship application documents:
- Academic transcripts of the most recent program;
- Diploma of the highest level completed;
- Passport page with photo and signature;
- English proficiency and/or standardized test scores (PTE A/IELTS/TOEFL/SAT/GMAT/ GRE…);
- Scientific achievements, extracurricular activities, research papers – if any.
Additional documents for master’s and doctoral scholarship applicants:
- Work CV;
- 1 personal statement;
- 2 letters of recommendation.
Other notes:
- For students receiving partial scholarships (covering only tuition or part of tuition, or part of living expenses), you must carefully calculate your remaining costs (tuition, living expenses, etc.);
- Some countries require full documentation and many types of papers for scholarship applications, while others may only assess GPA and English proficiency.
