Surpassing many "excellent profiles", Đinh Như Minh Châu and Vũ Thái Sơn - both final year students of the Faculty of Japanese Language and Culture of Dong A University, have excelled in studying in Japan with a 100% scholarship from Wakayama National University - Japan.
It is known that both are students who have achieved Japanese language proficiency N2, and are active in learning and activities of the faculty and the university.

The top student of the 2020 intake continues to win prestigious scholarships.
Since entering Dong A University campus with a full scholarship worth 100% of the tuition fee for the entire course, Đinh Như Minh Châu - the top student of the 2020 intake has always been a bright name with many impressive achievements.

However, when she just heard the news that she had received a 100% scholarship from Wakayama National University, Minh Châu still modestly said that this was a lucky thing when she was selected as one of the two students who had the opportunity to study at a large university in Japan - the school that language students like Châu aspire to.
“When I saw my classmate Nguyen Truong Duy - a student who is studying at this school with a 100% scholarship from the Japanese Government, I also dreamed of coming here. And I am very happy that that dream has come true,” Châu shared.
To achieve this achievement, according to Châu, it is based on the fact that you arrange to balance between studying and participating in activities. During the process of studying and training at Dong A University, Châu actively improved her language skills and many skills through speaking contests inside and outside the school. In particular, having many opportunities to participate in translation support at festivals and seminars organized by the school, her Japanese language skills also improved significantly.

Minh Châu expressed her happiness when she was about to experience the international exchange program: “Accompanying me on the upcoming trip is also Vu Thai Son. I hope that in Japan, Thai Son and I, together with Truong Duy, will study together and build a new meaningful journey in the land of the rising sun.”
It is known that Minh Châu and Thai Son will start a one-year exchange program at the Faculty of Education, Wakayama National University in April this year.
The student who "won" a scholarship to Japan twice during the course.
Cherishing the dream of one day leaving his own footprints in the cherry blossom land, Vu Thai Son - a student of the 2020 class of the Faculty of Japanese Language and Culture, at Dong A University, has just received another opportunity to go to Japan with a 100% scholarship at Wakayama National University.  
Previously, Thai Son was awarded a scholarship by the Vietnam - Japan Cultural and Sports Exchange Association (Favija) to study and experience 2 weeks in Japan when he was an excellent candidate with the First Prize in the 2nd Cherry Blossom Cup Japanese Speech Contest.

“During the time I went to Japan with the Favija Association scholarship, I had the opportunity to meet and talk with the seniors who are studying and working here. Their sharing helped me understand more about life and love the Japanese Language & Culture major that I am pursuing.” Therefore, that experience was also a source of motivation for Thai Son to have more motivation to find opportunities to return to this beautiful country.
The Japanese language certificate with N2 when he was a third-year student also showed the ability and determination of this hard-working student. Then, together with a group of Japanese language students from Dong A University, Thai Son continued to win the First Prize in the Presentation Contest on the theme “Our Dream of Connecting Vietnam - Japan” at Kanagawa Day 2023 - Kanagawa festival in Da Nang 2023.

With his continuous efforts, the scholarship from Wakayama National University that Thai Son just received is the "sweet fruit" for the past journey and is also the key to helping him continue with his passion for the Japanese language in the next journey.
