Treat scholarships and fee waivers in Vietnam as university-specific unless you have written confirmation of a named scheme. Ask the admissions office for the current discount rules, eligibility criteria, and payment schedule before treating a scholarship as part of your budget.

Request the written scholarship terms, the net payable tuition, and whether hostel or other charges are excluded.
