The exchange is divided into three main sections, in the first part, the representative of the US Embassy provides information about US education and information related to Fulbright scholarships; the second section is for Fulbright scholars to introduce, discuss and share experiences in conquering Fulbright and the final is to for Fulbright scholars to interview future Fulbright scholarship applicants.

The most important part of the meeting is to discuss and share experiences. Most participants asked questions about the scholarship application process and how to successfully conquer scholarships. With great efforts, 20 Fulbright scholars answered many important questions raised by potential candidates at Vinh University. The meeting was a great success, providing opportunities for Vinh University staff and students with opportunities and useful information for the conquest of the upcoming Fulbright scholarships.
