VNU-UEB’s students will have access to the "Building the Future" Support Fund (named by VNU-UEB) including a loan package for students valued up to VND 50 billion and scholarships for loan interest valued VND 80 million per year.


The Covid-19 pandemic imposes a far-reaching impact on society as a whole, including the decline in the income of many families. This greatly affects the financial resources of families, reducing the opportunities to attend higher education of many students.

In that context, VNU University of Economics and Business (VNU-UEB) and Vietnam Investment and Development Joint Stock Bank (BIDV) have jointly built the products to support student during their study. Accordingly, VNU-UEB’s students will have access to the "Building the future" Support Fund including a loan package for students to pay their tuition fee valued up to VND 50 billion and the scholarship for loan interest of VND 80 million per year. The BIDV My Dinh will be the branch to implement this activity.

The financial solutions in education

The "Building the Future" supports fund is a special financial source for students of the UEB and their families.

According to the agreement, undergraduate students enrolled in the regular and joint training programs, earning the academic results of Good or higher will have access to this loan, which will pay all of their tuition fees during university.

Moreover, the first-year students with preferential entry and who scored the average from 8.6 points/subject in the high school graduation exam will also subject to the loan.

UEB’s students will be entitled to a maximum loan amount of 100% tuition fees following the provisions detailed in the MOU. The interest rate with most favorable condition will be available to students (the loan interest rate equal to BIDV's 12-month deposit interest rate plus a margin of 0.5% per year). Thus, with BIDV's current 12-month deposit interest rate of 5.5% per year, the interest rate for UEB’s students will be 6.0% per year, much lower than the current lending interest rate of the market. Moreover, they also have the opportunity to receive scholarships equal to 100% loan interest and loan insurance.
