My first thought when I learned I was awarded this scholarship
Besides the happiness and gratitude, I felt over receiving the scholarship, I was also reminded of the responsibility it entails. I need to maintain my scholarship, plan for my future, and gain as much knowledge about the real world as I can. The Hinrich Foundation offers many opportunities, and I want to show that I deserve the scholarship.

My proudest achievement so far in life
My proudest achievement in life so far is receiving the Hinrich Foundation-TBS scholarship. I believe it will help me soar to greater heights.
The largest obstacle I’ve overcome so far in life
The largest obstacle I have overcome so far in life is my lack of confidence when speaking to a crowd. I aimed to improve on this while I was at university. By overcoming my fear, I felt motivated to overcome other difficulties in life.
My future goals and aspirations
My future goals and aspirations include graduating from university with excellent grades, contributing to the TBS Group, expanding my personal and professional network, being financially stable, and improving my skills and talent.
How I plan to give back and help others
Someday, when I achieve financial stability, I want to open a school for students who are passionate about transportation, logistics and supply chain management. I also would like to go back to my hometown to develop the supply chain for distributing vegetables and flowers to cities around Vietnam and across the world.
Story about Nguyen Thuy Trang
I was born and grew up in a romantic tourist city aptly called “The city of love”- Da Lat. My friends like that I have a great sense of humor. I am creative, dynamic and confident. In high school, I majored in chemistry and won a bronze medal for it.
When I heard I was selected to become a scholar of the Hinrich Foundation and TBS Group, I was so happy because it proved that dreams do come true. I know I will gain in-depth experience and specialized knowledge in this field.
