Germany supports VGU students amid COVID-19
Berlin (VNA) – The World University
Service (WUS) and authorities of Hessen state of Germany will provide
scholarships worth 205,000 EUR (230,625 USD) to students of the
Vietnamese-German University (VGU) who are affected by the COVID-19
pandemic.
WUS President Dr. Kambiz Ghawami said the WUS has
suggested the Hessen Ministry of Science and the Arts grant the scholarships to
VGU students amid the pandemic spread.
In a thank-you letter to Minister Angela Dorn, Ghawami
said the programme acknowledges achievements the university has recorded at the
international level.
The VGU is a scientific bridge between Vietnam and
Germany, and a lighthouse of the bilateral strategic partnership, he stressed.
It is the first public university in Vietnam
formed under an agreement between the two governments.
Since its inception in the southern province of Binh Duong in 2008, the VGU has been regarded as a key project between the two governments
as well as the most successful tertiary educational cooperation project of the
German government and the Hessen authorities./.
