Representing 20 VNU-USSH students receiving scholarships in 2023, Le Minh Trang (a student majoring in Tourism Studies) shared: I am honored to be one of the students receiving the scholarship and even luckier to be here to share my dream. As a high school student, I always cherished the dream of bringing the beauty of Vietnam, adorned with abundant natural resources and diverse cultures, to friends around the world, and at the same time being able to help more local people who are still facing many challenges. This led me to pursue a major in Hotel Management at the Faculty of Tourism, University of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Throughout my journey to realize my dream, I have received support and companionship from my family, school, organizations and businesses. I would like to send my sincere thanks to the AEON 1% Club Fund for their continuous support, helping us to light the fire of our dreams."
 

Le Minh Trang shares her dream and learning journey as well as the honor of receiving the scholarship.
