Educational Project for Vietnam
I. Study Abroad in America
IVCE has been launching the "Study Abroad in
America" program since 2000 to help students in Vietnam pursue higher
education abroad. Our goal is to provide information about admission and
scholarships in the U.S., as well as to give students tools to improve their
chances of gaining admission and securing financial aid.
Through our outreach and educational programs over the
past years, IVCE has received hundreds of questions from Vietnamese students
regarding U.S. admission and scholarship programs annually. Our most well
received program has been the "Study Abroad in America" conference,
which we conduct in Vietnam every summer. The overwhelming interest of
Vietnamese students in this topic reinforced our commitment to providing these
types of services. Our experience with the students demonstrates to us that
there is a high number of students qualified to study in the U.S. but are unable
to do so for lack of procedural knowledge. We plan to hold more seminars over
the next summers to facilitate discussions and provide a forum for direct
interaction between us and interested students.
According to the Institute of International Education,
the number of Vietnamese students attended U.S. colleges and high schools in
2023 are approximately 22,000.
IVCE has helped more than 10,000 people for study abroad
in America between 2002 and 2014 throughout Vietnam.
We believe students who have the opportunity to study
abroad will bring back with them ideas and concepts from American universities
that can contribute to the development of Vietnam.
II. Vietnam Teaching Assistantship (ViTA)
The ViTA program is the companion to our “Study Abroad in America” workshop
series. Through ViTA, IVCE actively
recruits and develops a group of Vietnamese-American college and graduate
students to teach TOEFL, SAT, GRE & GMAT, English workshops to students this
summer in Vietnam.
Type of work: Teaching your choice of TOEFL, SAT, GRE or GMAT classes in Vietnam
Eligibility: At least a Sophomore in college.
Length of project: 8 weeks (4-week stay in two cities) or longer.
Location: Can Tho University, Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang University, Da Nang University, Ha Noi Institute of Technology, and Thai Nguyen University.
III. Book Drive
Since 1997, the Nhip Song Book Drive has been
collecting and shipping to Vietnam textbooks donated by students in the U.S.
These books cover many subjects, including biology, ecology, civil &
environmental, engineering, business, medicine, and nursing. We would like to
thank all of you who have contributed textbooks, as well as those (including the
VSAs) who have donated funds to cover shipping costs.
The textbooks were delivered to:
Ho Chi Minh Library (Thư viện KHTH, Saigon) in 1998: 350 books.
Hanoi National Librarry (Thư viện Quốc Gia, Hanoi) in 2000: 140 books,160 Journals.
Hanoi University of Technology (Ðại Học Bách Khoa Hanoi) in 2000: 80 books.
Da Nang University of Technology (Ðại Học Bách Khoa Ðà Nẵng) in 2003: 265 books, 60 journals.
University of Da Nang (Ðại Học Ðà Nẵng) in 2003: 80 books.
College of Medicine, Hue University (Ðại Học Y Khoa Huế) in 2003: 175 books, 120 journals.
Hanoi National University (Ðại Học Quốc Gia Hanoi, Khoa Ngôn Ngữ Học) in 2003: 200 journals.
We are now launching the Nhip Song Book Drive
2003-2004 and are seeking your help. The next shipment of textbooks will be
delivered to the Mekong Delta area. We urge you to consider donating your
textbooks to our worthy cause rather than re-selling them. Your generosity can
make a big difference in the education and betterment of thousands of Vietnamese
students and faculties by providing them with the tools they need to build a
better Vietnam for the 21st century.
