This is the striving target of many students in the university, and many of them achieve scholarships in many consecutive years. Student Le My Linh – Electricity Engineering and Information Technology Major, course 2019 said: "With two consecutive years of 100% Merit Scholarship (for general academic year and the first year), I feel very happy because I can prove that my time is invested reasonably. During the studying process, it is necessary to change the investment in each period, and before any exam, I should go through many practices in order to make a plan to overcome my weakness and develop my strength."
