“Although the deadline for student admission to Co May dormitory for the 2024-2025 school year has ended for nearly 3 months, and the number of students selected is more than 100, Hang, a martial arts talent with a difficult family background but full of determination to overcome difficulties and study well, deserves to be given favorable conditions to complete university.
Therefore, the Co May dormitory's sponsoring board decided to accept student Hang and sponsor all tuition, accommodation, living expenses, skill training, etc. so that this female national karate champion can worry less about tuition fees and feel secure in her university studies," Mr. Huy shared.
Prof. Dr. Nguyen Khac Quoc Bao - Vice President of Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics - also said that, through the introduction of Tuoi Tre newspaper, Nguyen Do Nhu Hang received the scholarship "UEH Alumni Class 26 - Wings of Dreams" in 2024.
This scholarship has just been launched, worth 15 million VND/scholarship. The school plans to hold a scholarship award ceremony on November 30.
“UEH always creates conditions and is ready to support students with difficult circumstances, so that no student has to drop out of school or have their studies affected by having to worry about making a living. The Student Care Board of Ho Chi Minh City University of Economics will accompany and support Hang during her studies at UEH,” Mr. Bao affirmed.
115 new students were selected to enter Co May dormitory.
With the admission of new student Nguyen Do Nhu Hang, this year there are 115 new students selected to enter Co May dormitory. Students admitted to Co May dormitory are supported with free meals and accommodation at the dormitory and are also subsidized for the entire tuition fee in the first semester and are subsidized for additional foreign language, IT and soft skills classes...
In the following semesters, the dormitory will base on the previous semester's academic results to consider the specific level of subsidy. If the results are good, the full tuition will still be subsidized.

Female grandmaster cried tears of joy
On November 19, when Tuoi Tre reporter reported that Co May dormitory agreed to accept Nguyen Do Nhu Hang, this new student was so happy that she cried.
Hang said that although the first days of university classes in the past few weeks were fun, she still had a heavy burden of tuition worries.
“Over the years, I have used the nutrition money from being an athlete in the Binh Thuan province karate team to pay for my tuition and other living expenses. But now the university tuition is too high. I also do not have financial support from my family, so I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to fulfill my dream of going to university.
Now I feel very lucky and honored to be specially accepted into Co May dormitory. Being able to stay in this dormitory is not only a financial support but also a motivation for me to try to study and develop myself. I will try my best to study, practice well and contribute to the community", Hang shared.
Previously, on the evening of November 17, Nguyen Do Nhu Hang was awarded the Support to School scholarship, worth 15 million VND. At the same time, Hang is also one of 13 new students with difficulties from 7 provinces and cities in the Southeast region to be sponsored a laptop by the Vinacam Scholarship Fund - Vinacam Group Joint Stock Company for learning equipment.
“I am truly touched and appreciate the encouragement and support from teachers, friends and readers of Tuoi Tre newspaper over the past few days. The scholarship means a lot and will help me a lot on the road ahead.
I would like to sincerely thank the management and sponsorship board of Co May dormitory for creating the opportunity for me to continue pursuing my dream," Hang said.
