the VEF Board of Directors and Staff has developed this 5- year Strategic Plan, which will be reviewed annually in April based

Description:
At its core, the purpose for the Vietnam Education Foundation is to help Vietnam to develop their science and technology capacity
through the education of Vietnamese nationals at U.S. institutions of Higher Education and through teaching programs by U.S.
faculty experts at Vietnamese universities and research institutes. By extension, this educational exchange also is expected
to contribute to the continued reconciliation between the United States and Vietnam who, four decades ago, were still in the
midst of a significant war. Since beginning its programs in 2003, the Vietnam Education Foundation has developed numerous
programs that have achieved these goals. The key to VEF's success for the next five years is to maximize VEF resources in
order to improve and expand VEF programs and activities and to continue promoting mutual reconciliation through VEF initiatives.
