Vietnam 🇻🇳
U-GO Scholars: 737
While Vietnam has made encouraging progress at helping young women to enroll in university, there is a large urban-rural divide. In rural areas of Vietnam, men matriculate to university at twice the rate of women. The women who do attend university are often from wealthier and urban families who have enjoyed the advantages of attending well-run primary and secondary schools, and who have been raised by educated parents. Across the country, women also lag behind men in crucial study fields like STEM.
U-GO partners with The Relay Fund, VietSeeds, and Saigon Children’s Charity to reach deserving young women across the country with the promise of a quality education and path to a better future. Across all three partners, U-GO has funded 734 scholarships to talented Vietnamese women.
