Throughout the application and scholarship process, students are given the opportunity to participate in activities that enrich their educational experience, such as writing essays on social topics, interviewing directly with businesses, and so on. This helps them to continue their journey of personal development and achieve success in the future.

This includes strengthening cooperation in the field of education. I hope the AEON 1% Foundation Club scholarship will help you become more interested in Japan, thereby contributing to the future exchange between Japan and Vietnam. The future generation plays a very important role in continuing to develop this good relationship even further in the next 50 years.”
