Aeon (Japan) awarded scholarships to 30 outstanding students.

On behalf of the university's leadership, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Kim expressed gratitude to Aeon Group for choosing the University of Social Sciences and Humanities as the scholarship recipient for its students, aiming to encourage them in their studies and training. The Vice Rector stated that this action demonstrates the Group's business philosophy of focusing on people, with education as one of its priorities. The Vice Rector also noted that this activity is even more significant in the context of the positive results of Vietnam-Japan cooperation; the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is also on the path to internationalizing its fields of activity, with Japanese studies being one of its priority areas of training and research.

Following this, Mr. Hiroshi Yokoo delivered a speech affirming the Group's goal of supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds who strive to excel in their studies. Currently, Vietnam is playing an increasingly important role in the ASEAN region, and investment in Vietnam marks a significant milestone in Aeon Group's development. With this orientation, this is the third year that Aeon Group has implemented its plan to plant forests, award scholarships, and build schools in Vietnam. Aeon hopes that through providing scholarships to students, it will further support scientific research activities and student exchanges in Vietnam, thereby strengthening the friendly relations between the two countries.
