The President of Monash University (Australia) - Professor Sharon Pickering, had an online meeting with new student Truong Thi Hong Hanh (HCMC). Hong Hanh is one of the first students to receive the Vice- Chancellors ASEAN Awards Scholarship, a new scholarship program to support Southeast Asian students studying at Monash University.
The scholarship will provide comprehensive financial support for Hong Hanh when studying in the Advanced Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Program in the 2026 school year.
Vice- Chancellors ASEAN Awards scholarship, with a total value of 2.5 million AUDs (~43.7 billion VND), is being implemented to support excellent university students in the ASEAN region, completely reducing the burden of study costs, including tuition, travel, accommodation transfer, visa fees, etc.
The scholarship has a competitive selection process, applied to excellent candidates from 10 ASEAN countries.
After the ASEAN Awards scholarship in August 2025, Monash University continues to approve the new Scholarship program - ASEAN Pathway - worth 1 million AUD (~17.5 billion VND). The program supports excellent ASEAN students during their studies at Monash College - a reserve training unit with programs such as diploma and Foundation Year, helping students prepare and transfer to Monash University.
