Vietnam : ASEAN Business Advisory Council Scholarship 2012


About Scholarship
In line with the Cha-am Hua Hin Declaration on Strengthening Cooperation on Education to Achieve an ASEAN Caring and Sharing Community, the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) is looking into encouraging regional cooperation by providing scholarships in selected ASEAN universities for students wishing to study programs relating to business and technology. The ASEAN-BAC Scholarship program aims to foster "ASEAN youths with ASEAN hearts'', and is a way for the private sector of ASEAN to continually contribute towards the enhancement of "People-to-People Connectivity' (P2P).

This initiative has received the fall support of ASEAN Leaders when it was presented as one of the key recommendations provided by ASEAN-BAC during its annual dialogue session with the ASEAN Leaders held on the sidelined of the 19th ASEAN Leaders Summit in Bali, Indonesia.

As a start, ASEAN-BAC has agreed to work with Tan Tao University (TTU) in Viet Nam to offer scholarships for 50 students from throughout ASEAN Member States, worth up to USD 27,500 per student, in the 2012 and 2013 school year. It is hoped that this pilot project between ASEAN-BAC and TTU will spur other universities in the region to offer similar programs for students ASEAN-wide.
