IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT SCHOLARSHIPS
Duc Anh EduConnect encourages all eligible students to apply for scholarships. We can support you throughout the scholarship application process with the following:
- Meeting students early to help build a study plan and roadmap to work towards scholarship eligibility in the future;
- Assessing your actual academic profile and suggesting suitable scholarships for you to apply for;
- Supporting you in completing your scholarship documents: reviewing and checking information, proofreading application forms, personal statements and other documents;
- Submitting scholarship applications directly on your behalf.
In practice, because Duc Anh EduConnect represents many high-ranking international universities and has a large number of strong applicants, we are known in Vietnam as one of the consultants that works very hard on scholarship applications and also one of the companies that secures many scholarships, including high-value awards, for students.
Scholarship opportunities are open to everyone. To maximise your chances, we strongly recommend that you contact us 2-3 years before you plan to study abroad, so we can preliminarily assess your overall profile and help you build the best possible preparation plan for scholarship applications. Please also read the general scholarship information below to better understand your options.
Understanding Different Types of Funding
Students should clearly distinguish between:
- Scholarship: A competitive award with limited places, usually based on academic merit and other criteria. You must compete with other applicants to receive it.
- Grant: A fixed amount of money that a university/faculty may offer once you enrol in a particular course or institution. It is often automatically applied and does not always require a separate application.
- Bursary / Financial aid: Financial support for students who have specific reasons or circumstances (for example, financial hardship). You may need to explain your situation in order to be considered.
Duc Anh EduConnect will support you in applying for all three types: Scholarships, Grants, and Bursaries/Financial Aid.
Sources and Levels of Scholarships
Scholarships can come from various sources, with values ranging from 10-100% of tuition fees, or even full scholarships covering tuition, living expenses, accommodation, travel, health insurance, etc.:
- The destination country (for example: Australia – AAS; UK – Chevening; USA – Fulbright; New Zealand – Asia-related scholarships);
- The institution where you choose to study;
- Independent organisations or agencies;
- Independent individuals;
- The Vietnamese government;
- Vietnamese organisations and agencies.
How Scholarships are assessed
Except in cases where a profile is truly outstanding and the approximate scholarship level can be predicted, in reality no one can guarantee whether you will receive a scholarship or not. Scholarship decisions are always made by an official scholarship committee, based on key criteria such as:
- Academic strength and achievements: scholarships are usually awarded from the highest-achieving applicants downwards;
- Timing of application: early applications often have an advantage over late ones;
- Specific criteria: if the scholarship is specialised (for example, field-specific or targeted at certain groups), additional conditions will apply.
Scholarship Competitiveness – Academic Profile vs. Potential Scholarship Level
As a general reference, students can consider the following guideline when assessing which scholarship level they may be competitive for:
- 100% tuition scholarship: To apply competitively, you should typically 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
These are indicative ranges only. Each university and scholarship program may set its own criteria and cut-off levels.
Typical Documents for Scholarship Applications
- Academic transcripts of your most recent qualification
- Degree certificate of your highest completed level of study
- Passport (photo and signature page)
- English test results and/or standardised tests (PTE Academic / IELTS / TOEFL / SAT / GMAT / GRE, etc.)
- Evidence of academic achievements, research activities, awards, competitions and extracurricular activities (if any)
For Master’s and PhD scholarship applicants, you will usually also need:
- A detailed CV (résumé)
- One personal statement or statement of purpose
- Two reference letters (academic and/or professional)
Additional Notes
For students receiving partial scholarships (covering only part of the tuition fee or part of living costs), it is important to carefully calculate whether you have sufficient funds to cover the remaining tuition and living expenses.
In some countries, scholarship applications require a very comprehensive set of documents; in others, assessment may rely mainly on GPA and English results.
