Back in 2009, AmCham began a program to recognize outstanding final-year undergraduate students in Hanoi who demonstrate leadership through academic performance, community involvement, extracurricular activities, and possess good English-language skills.

Hundreds of students from Hanoi’s best universities spent over three months competing to become AmCham Scholars. After submitting a profile video on YouTube and completing a written application, we held face-to-face interviews with the top 60 candidates to choose the 2023 AmCham Scholars.

We had a very difficult time choosing from the many qualified applicants and tough decisions had to be made. Congratulations to the 20 talented young men and women listed below receiving our 2023 Runners-Up Awards:
