Scholarship helps Anh buy food

But expanding his mindset was not the only challenge Anh has faced during his Masters.

“I’m now in the final months of completing my thesis, which is really stressful, and I don’t have time for part-time work to support my living costs,” says Anh. “My budget for food, bills and rent is very tight – I buy only the essential food.”

Under high pressure to complete his Masters and cover his living costs, Anh received a Matthew Flinders Scholarship.

“The scholarship arrived just when I needed it most – it will cover my food costs for the final three months of my studies and allow me to focus on completing my degree.”

Anh extends his heartfelt appreciation to the scholarship donors, acknowledging their important role in his academic journey. Their generosity not only eases his immediate financial pressures, but will also enable him to effect positive change in his homeland.

“I hope that by exposing myself to the professionalism and high standard of the Australian biomedical field, it will help me to build and improve the standards in Vietnam.”
