In addition, the University also offers a Cooperative Scholarship program exclusively for excellent students from BUV's partner high schools, along with a variety of other financial support for outstanding students.

Established in 2018, BUV Scholarship and Financial Aid Fund has made a significant contribution to the community, continuing to journey to light up the education pathway of many talented students irrespective of their financial condition and backgrounds. Hundreds of students have been facilitated to study high-quality British degrees in an international environment and became motivated to constantly discover, research, create opportunities for themselves, and bring value to the community.

Prof. Dr. Raymond Gordon – Vice-chancellor and President of BUV, shared: “BUV has worked hard and is proud to be leading the way in the provision of quality high-education and learning experiences in Vietnam. The university’s mission is to, first and foremost, create graduates who are ‘good’ human beings with ethics of kindness and caring for both people and the environment. Its graduates will also be trained, irrespective of their discipline of study, to be design thinkers and innovators conscious of creating new and exciting opportunities for themselves and the people of Vietnam. Hence, to align with BUV’s mission and its broader commitment to the future of Vietnam, each year, BUV provides scholarship funding to give talented young Vietnamese students the opportunity to realise their education dream and go on to contribute to Vietnam’s future.”
