The scholarship programme aims to help train high-quality human resources for the Lao provinces of Saravane and Xekong and universities and colleges, particularly Savannakhet and Champassak universities which have cooperative agreements with the Hue University.

Around 370 Lao students were enrolled at 15 universities and colleges in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue in the 2013-2014 academic year.
