Pham Ngoc Phuong Dung, a graduate of Luong Van Chanh High School for the Gifted in the Central Highlands' Dak Lak Province, received the news in May. The Singapore government scholarship covers full tuition, a S$5,800 (US$4,483) living allowance and S$3,000 in housing each semester.
"I was surprised because I didn't think I would win such a competitive scholarship to study computer science," Dung said. She is now in Singapore, settling into dorm life and exploring the city ahead of her August enrollment.
