About IDEAS Master Scholarship
Contents
The Irish Aid IDEAS Scholarship Program’s goal is to give bright applicants the chance to further their education and professional development in Ireland so that they can contribute to Vietnam’s future development.
With a population of nearly 88 million people and an area four times the size of Ireland, Vietnam ranks 121st out of 187 nations on the 2014 UN Human Development Index, compared to Ireland’s 11th place.
Through Irish Aid, Ireland has worked with Vietnam to reduce poverty and inequality by implementing programs aimed at improving the delivery of basic services and social protection to the poorest and most vulnerable members of society, as well as promoting inclusive economic development, private sector growth, and increased government accountability to its citizens.
