Never too early to start realizing your dreams: US ambassador
In his article on U.S. education, U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Daniel Kritenbrink shares that it’s never too early to start looking for opportunities to study in the United States.
Offers of admission are the product of much careful thought and hard work, both by the students who apply and by the American colleges and universities that conduct a rigorous review of these applications. We recognize the energy and creativity you poured into essays about your dreams and ideas, the hard work it took to prepare for English language and other examinations, and the commitments you fulfilled to community service and extra-curricular interests.
Over one million international students are now in U.S. higher education institutions, maintaining the United States’ long-standing position as the world’s top host nation for international students. This is a testament to the unmatched quality of American higher education in the eyes of international students, their families, and future employees.
U.S. colleges and universities take pride in providing safe, welcoming environments for all their students. We value inclusion and actively support students from diverse backgrounds on our campuses. Many U.S. universities send messages of welcome to students around the world through the #YouAreWelcomeHere Campaign. I’m proud to join them in welcoming you to the United States, where our colleges and universities offer valuable educational opportunities to help you meet your life and career goals.
Consular officials at the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi and Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City and at American embassies and consulates around the world continue to work diligently to process student visa requests as part of your journey to a U.S. education.
