On June 9, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) approved the "Nurturing Pho thong Nang khieu Talent" scholarship policy. This initiative aims to identify, attract, and foster excellent students.

Each scholarship is valued at 100% of annual fees, including tuition fees and other support services. Scholarships are reviewed annually, with a limited number available for each specialized subject group and grade level.

For grade 10, VNU-HCM will consider a maximum of 10 students with the highest entrance scores in each specialized subject group. Pho thong Nang khieu currently offers seven specialized subject groups: Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Literature, English, and Informatics.

Achievements considered include: national, regional, and international excellent student awards; membership in national excellent student competition teams; and students with excellent academic and training results.

Thus, the school will offer a maximum of 210 scholarships annually across the three grades. Specific numbers, values, and criteria will be announced by the school before grade 10 students confirm enrollment.
