Panasonic Vietnam last week held the 2013 Panasonic Master Scholarship Award Ceremony to outstanding Vietnamese graduates, a part of its corporate social responsibility programme.

More than 40 students from 16 universities nationwide applied for 2013-2016 Panasonic Master Scholarships this year, according to the company. After four selection rounds, the three best graduates were chosen. These graduates had passed strict screening process by the jury which were composed of representatives from the Japanese embassy to Vietnam, Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training, the Panasonic Scholarship Japan Office and Panasonic Vietnam.

Panasonic Scholarship covers full living costs and tuition fees for a three-year masters course, but also organises many cultural exchange activities for the scholars during their studying time in Japan. It is planned for those three scholars to officially start their study course in March 2013 at top universities in Japan, after spending four months learning Japanese in Vietnam.

The Panasonic Scholarship Programme in Vietnam has been implemented since 2003. Some 22 outstanding Vietnamese graduates have received the scholarships. Among 13 graduated masters, two have completed a PhD course in Japan, four are working on doctorates in Japan.
