Ms. Nguyen Phuong Anh of Viet Nam National University was awarded a SHARE
scholarship to study at University of the Philippines and had this to say, “A semester in the
Philippines was such an eye-opening experience to me. Thanks to the scholarship, I had a
great opportunity to learn about this country and others in the region, from which I could
expand my knowledge significantly, develop my critical view of nations and have a more
appropriate attitude in exploring and appreciating other cultures.”


The scholarship scheme is part of the work of the “EU Support to Higher Education in the
