Not only preparing to represent Vietnam in the international beauty arena Miss World, the beauty also received a scholarship to study for a Master's program at one of the leading prestigious universities in the United States.
The information that Bao Ngoc received an admission invitation from Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs quickly received public attention. This is one of the leading training institutions in the world in the field of public policy and international relations, under Columbia University.
In particular, the beauty excellently received a scholarship for the Master of Public Administration program in Environmental Science and Policy. This achievement is considered a recognition of her persistent efforts in studying, researching as well as activities towards sustainable development over the years.
Unlike the image of many beauty queens focusing on entertainment activities after being crowned, Bao Ngoc chose to build her own path by pursuing knowledge and community projects. The non-profit Gen Zero - Youth for Sustainable Development project is one of the outstanding highlights, contributing to shaping the image of a dynamic beauty queen, concerned about social and environmental issues.
Good academic news came right at the time Bao Ngoc was entering the acceleration phase of preparing for Miss World 2026. This is considered a significant advantage because Miss World is a contest that always emphasizes intellectual factors, leadership ability and charity activities. Bao Ngoc's academic achievements and community projects are expected to become an important plus point when she steps into the international arena.
However, along with the advantage is no small pressure. Representing the host country to participate in Miss World has already made Bao Ngoc receive special attention from the public. Now with outstanding academic achievements and scholarships from a school in the Ivy League group, the expectations for her are even greater.
Many viewers hope that Bao Ngoc will not only be an outstanding contestant but also be able to create high achievements for Vietnam at this year's competition. This means that the beauty must balance the preparation process for Miss World, community activities and future study plans.
However, these challenges also contribute to creating the image of a new generation beauty queen - where beauty is no longer the only factor. In the context of beauty contests increasingly emphasizing intellectual values and social influence, Bao Ngoc's story is seen as evidence of a shift in the public's perception of a beauty queen.
