On 4 February 2026, the Vietnam Women’s Academy organized a Lunar New Year (Tết Nguyên đán Bính Ngọ 2026) gift-giving program for students experiencing financial hardship and conducted visits to the families of selected students residing in Hanoi. This annual initiative reflects the Academy’s sustained commitment to student welfare and its broader educational philosophy, which emphasizes both academic development and holistic care. By providing material assistance and extending New Year greetings, the Academy sought to ensure that disadvantaged students could celebrate the traditional holiday in a spirit of warmth, dignity, and reassurance.

The program was designed not merely as a form of financial support but also as an expression of moral encouragement and institutional solidarity. In the context of Vietnam’s longstanding humanitarian traditions, such activities reinforce the values of compassion, mutual assistance, and community cohesion that are especially significant during the Lunar New Year. Through this initiative, the Academy reaffirmed its role as a humanistic educational institution attentive to the material and emotional well-being of its learners, particularly those confronting adverse socio-economic circumstances.

The event was attended by M.A. Hà Thị Thanh Vân, Vice Director of the Vietnam Women’s Academy; Doctoral Candidate, M.A. Bùi Gia Huân, Head of the Office of Student Affairs; representatives of various departments and sponsoring organizations; and more than 50 students currently enrolled at the Academy who are facing financial challenges. Their presence underscored the collaborative nature of the program, which draws upon institutional leadership, administrative coordination, and external sponsorship to mobilize resources in support of students.

M.A. Hà Thị Thanh Vân, Vice President of the Vietnam Women’s Academy, delivered remarks and extended Lunar New Year greetings to students and their families on the occasion of the Year of the Horse (Bính Ngọ).

During the 2025 -2026 academic year, the Academy enrolls over 7,000 students across diverse academic programs. Among this student population are individuals from particularly disadvantaged family backgrounds who nevertheless demonstrate perseverance and strong commitment to their studies and personal development. In addition to state-sponsored financial aid policies, the Academy consistently implements supplementary support measures to provide timely assistance, both material and psychological. Such efforts aim to empower students to pursue their academic goals with confidence, cultivate essential competencies, and prepare themselves to contribute meaningfully to society.

Over the years, the Lunar New Year gift-giving initiative has evolved into a regular and institutionally embedded program of significant humanitarian value. In 2026, the Academy and its partners distributed a total of 57 gift packages, with overall financial support exceeding VND 67 million. Each recipient received one New Year gift package and VND 1,000,000 in cash. Although modest in monetary terms, these contributions represent a tangible manifestation of the Academy’s care and the shared responsibility of sponsors in supporting educational equity.

Leaders of the Vietnam Women’s Academy, together with sponsoring partners, presented gifts to students.

In addition to the on-campus ceremony, the Office of Student Affairs organized visits to two families of students in particularly difficult circumstances within Hanoi. During these visits, representatives of the Academy conveyed New Year greetings, inquired about family well-being, and offered words of encouragement to both students and their parents. This outreach activity further strengthened the relationship between the institution and students’ families, highlighting the Academy’s comprehensive approach to student support.

Overall, the program functioned as both a material intervention and a symbolic affirmation of institutional responsibility. By fostering resilience, reinforcing students’ sense of belonging, and promoting the values of solidarity and compassion, the Vietnam Women’s Academy continues to affirm its mission of integrating academic excellence with social responsibility and humane educational practice.
