<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong> Page 19<br />
To clarify VEF financial support to U.S. universities, VEF provided an explanatory letter of the financial support<br />
provided to VEF Fellows (Appendix 14: Letter to Graduate Schools Summarizing Fellowship Support) for all<br />
nominees (final candidates for the <strong>2011</strong> Fellowship cohort) to submit to each U.S. university to which they<br />
applied during the fall of 2010 and early spring of <strong>2011</strong>, which are the time frames included in this reporting<br />
period. This <strong>2011</strong> cohort of Fellows were new enrollees as of the fall of <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
GRANT LETTER FOR VEF FELLOWS OF COHORT <strong>2011</strong><br />
VEF issued to each new Fellow of the <strong>2011</strong> cohort a comprehensive grant letter (Appendix 15: Terms and<br />
Conditions of the Fellowship Grant), covering the duration of each individual’s academic program in the United<br />
States. <strong>The</strong> obligations of the Fellow are detailed in the grant letter agreement with VEF, which is initialed<br />
throughout and signed by each Fellow to acknowledge his/her understanding and acceptance of the terms and<br />
conditions of the Fellowship grant. <strong>The</strong> grant letter serves as an important reference for the requirements of the<br />
Fellowship and includes the Fellow's specific obligation to return to <strong>Vietnam</strong> along with their dependents at the<br />
completion of the Fellow’s academic program.<br />
SUMMARY<br />
<strong>The</strong> VEF Fellowship Program continues to be highly successful in its recruitment and selection process as well<br />
as in its university admissions and cost-sharing financial arrangements. VEF independently manages all<br />
immigration and financial matters, thus providing greater control and quality outcomes. Through its various<br />
Fellowship activities, VEF continues to build a spirit of community and solidarity among its Fellows in order to<br />
help them sustain professional and personal support systems while in the United States and when they return to<br />
<strong>Vietnam</strong>. With continuity of programmatic efforts and very well-organized systems and management, the<br />
Fellowship Program is on extremely firm footing and is recognized by U.S. universities as well as by <strong>Vietnam</strong>ese<br />
entities as a high-quality program.
