The workshop gathered more than 200 students.

💡 At the beginning of the program, the speakers offered practical and relatable insights into the journey of securing international scholarships - from planning school selections and preparing academic documents to developing perseverance and confidence in pursuing long-term goals.

🌍 Dr. Nguyễn Ngọc Thủy shared profound reflections on her academic journey abroad, highlighting the challenges and personal growth experienced in an international learning environment. She emphasized that academic success requires not only knowledge but also resilience, the ability to view setbacks as opportunities, and a commitment to continuous self-improvement.

🏆 Offering a different perspective, Lê Nguyên Chi inspired students with her own story of earning multiple scholarships and preparing for her upcoming study journey in Europe. She underscored the importance of proactivity - proactively researching, learning, and believing in one’s potential. For her, a scholarship is not simply a reward for achievements but proof of determination, ambition, and the courage to pursue one’s aspirations.

✈️ Through authentic stories and practical experience, students gained a clearer understanding of what it takes to pursue international scholarships, while being inspired to proactively plan their own study-abroad pathways.

✨ Within the framework of FOIE Workshop 02, the program also featured a study-abroad advising session for students. The session provided detailed information on international programs, scholarship opportunities, admission requirements, and global career pathways, helping students form a more comprehensive and realistic view of future academic possibilities.

🌿 FOIEvolution Workshop 02: Journey to Global Scholarship concluded in a warm and uplifting atmosphere. The event not only equipped students of the Diplomatic Academy with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to pursue international scholarships but also conveyed an inspiring message: “Every journey to the world begins with a single step.”
