Scholarship Programme

International School Scholarship Programme

For a decade UNIS Hanoi has been proud to offer our Scholarship Programme offering Secondary School places to talented local students from disadvantaged families.

Our School was originally established in 1988 to assist in the development of Vietnam and our Scholarship Programme continues to honour the School's commitment to Institutional Philanthropy.

The Programme guarantees a full (100%) fees waiver until graduation and significant additional support for transport, school supplies, co curricular activities and university application. To date, 14 scholars have successfully graduated from UNIS Hanoi and a further nine students are currently members of our student body.

Mo Bui Class of 2021

“One of my favourite memories is travelling to China as a member of our APAC Badminton team. I got to meet new people and see a new place. I’m also a photographer on the High School’s newspaper, The Flame. In our previous school I would not have had these types of opportunities, yet I realise they’ve helped me to become a  well-rounded woman.”

 

Mo Bui is now a student at Fulbright University Viet Nam. 

Ly Nguyen Class of 2021

“I was a member of the Learners4Learners Service Learning group. Members of this group dedicate their time to teaching English to children who are less fortunate. Working with these children gave me a chance to eliminate traditional stereotypes about Vietnamese women because I witnessed these stereotypes in my family. As a group, we were able to share the knowledge and leadership skills UNIS Hanoi has taught us with other children, especially girls, so that they can raise their own status and succeed in life.”

 

Ly Nguyen is now a Marketing student at Hanoi University. 

Ha Nguyen, Class of 2020

"Before I joined UNIS Hanoi, I took my Vietnamese identity, culture and language for granted, mainly because I didn't know anything else existed. Then I found myself sat in class with students and adults who'd express their love of Vietnam and it made me so proud of who I am and my people. It took being in an international environment to really appreciate my country and culture. I'm so thankful to UNIS Hanoi for giving me the skills and the opportunities to enable me to become a well-rounded person."

Ha is now studying Liberal Arts at Fulbright University Viet Nam. She is UNIS Hanoi's first scholar to successfully gain a scholarship at a Vietnamese university.

"At UNIS Hanoi I came to know some of the most important people in my life. I also got to study subjects that I'm truly passionate about and that I was able to freely be who I am."

 

Ngoc Anh is currently studying at Mount Holyoke College in the United States of America. Her major is Psychology and Education.

Linh Nguyen, Class of 2018

"At university, I would flow from different friend groups and I believe my ability to synthesise is what I've learned the most by being at a diverse school such as UNIS."

Lam graduated from British University Vietnam (BUV). Lam is currently employed at the Admissions Office of VinUniversity.

Phuong Ly, Class of 2016

"Early on in life, I knew I was interested in pursuing a career in Global Health but I knew the Vietnamese system only had one way of achieving this goal and I wasn't sure it was for me. I realized that I needed to find a school that would allow me to explore my options more, offer volunteering experiences to me and give me access to a variety of people. UNIS Hanoi was the place that gave me that."

Phuong Ly graduated in 2020 from LaFayette College in the USA and also received her Master's Degree in International Development Studies at the Graduate Institute of Geneva (IHEID) in June 2022. She is currently studying at Medical School for International Health in Israel.
