THE THIRD-YEAR VINUNIAN, VO MINH QUAN & HIS JOURNEY TO UPENN
In October 2020, Vo Minh Quan, a student specializing in Physics at Luong The Vinh High School, Dong Nai, was awarded a 100% scholarship worth VND 3.3 billion by VinUni to study Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, VinUni. Quan made a strong impression on VinUni because he exuded a strong passion for mechanics as well as a confident, decisive thinking style rarely seen in a young person who just turned 18 years old. At that time, Quan shared, “I chose VinUni because all success must start from the starting line. Whatever the world can do, the Vietnamese can do.”![](https://admissions.vinuni.edu.vn/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/02/330984272_980872256213436_2412988908388364896_n.jpg)
