Female student of Social Sciences and Humanities won an international university scholarship on her first application

Luong Tran Tung Chi, born in 2005, is a former student of the Geography specialized class, course 2020-2023, High School for Gifted Students in Social Sciences and Humanities, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi.
Before the high school graduation exam, Tung Chi happily received admission news from 3 universities: Marketing Management at British University Vietnam, Law at Hanoi Law University and International Communication at Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam.

In 2020, when the High School for the Gifted in Social Sciences and Humanities recruited its first class, Chi's family let her take the entrance exam simply because the school was close to home and had a team of quality university teachers.
Being the first generation of students at the new school, studying on the same campus as the university, Chi and her friends received special attention from the teachers. Through that, Chi had the opportunity to develop her full potential, and experience many interesting activities and events with her university students.
Tung Chi is the Secretary of the Youth Union, Vice President of Literature - Sports - Arts and Head of Geography in the program welcoming grade 10 students "Knock and Joys" in 2022. Chi also regularly participates in supporting teachers in managing and organizing class events.
Tung Chi said: “I feel very lucky that my Geography class is very united and fully supports me when I join the executive committee. I also have a group of close friends who are all talented and lovely, always by my side when I encounter difficulties and help each other improve.”
Tung Chi was recognized as "Individual with positive contributions to the Youth Union's work" for three consecutive years 2021, 2022 and 2023; "Outstanding young face at the grassroots level" in 2021 and 2022; "Outstanding student" in the 2022-2023 school year of the High School for the Gifted in Social Sciences and Humanities.
However, as a first-year student, Chi and her friends did not have seniors to guide them, nor did they have clubs for extracurricular activities. Tung Chi turned that disadvantage into an advantage by standing up to open a club and becoming an active member of several other projects. She also researched and learned more to become a pioneer and inspiration for her juniors.
Tung Chi is the founder, President and Head of the Dance Committee of the HSSH Lands of Art (HLA) Art Club under the High School for the Gifted in Social Sciences and Humanities. This is not only an environment that helps Chi develop her dancing and performing talents, but running a club also gives Chi many skills in management and handling situations. In addition, Chi is also the Head of the Human Resources Committee of the Humans of HSSH Club for the period 2020-2022 and Deputy Head of the Dance Committee of the Melomance charity project.

In terms of studying, Tung Chi also achieved impressive results with a 12th grade GPA of 9.5 and an IELTS certificate of 7.0. However, Chi said that she is not a student who spends 8 hours a day just studying. Chi always arranges to be able to balance between studying and participating in extracurricular activities and socializing with friends. This helps create a comfortable mentality, avoiding the pressure of studying and taking exams that leads to boredom and giving up.
Win a scholarship by applying to only 1 school
Tung Chi is the owner of a National Scholarship worth 50% of tuition fees for three years of study at British University Vietnam (BUV). It is known that from more than 1,000 applications, the school selected 12 most suitable students to award different levels of scholarships and Chi was excellently included in the above list.
This was the first and only international university Tung Chi applied to, so Chi encountered many difficulties. This scholarship was very competitive, so Chi had to research and prepare carefully so that her application would impress the review board. In addition, Chi made the decision to apply for the scholarship late, so the time to prepare the application was quite urgent, only within a month.
