Study abroad fair «Set Up for Success» autumn 2026

   A family can spend months reading university websites and still not know whether a particular programme fits their child. One evening on Trần Phú puts applicants and parents in front of admissions officers directly: 30+ institutions from eight countries come to Nha Trang themselves, and the conversation runs off your actual file rather than a brochure.

   The fair is run by Capstone Vietnam under the name «Set Up for Success». High schools, colleges, universities and postgraduate programmes arrive from the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Singapore, Belgium, Greece and Lithuania. Alongside the stands there are in-depth workshops from international education consultants who have already walked Vietnamese students into strong overseas universities.

   The questions people usually come with:

• — does the current file stand any chance of a scholarship
• — choose a university by ranking or by intended career
• — whether to go abroad as early as secondary school
• — which fields lead to work straight after graduation
• — when to start assembling documents to stay competitive

   It is built for final-year school students, undergraduates planning a master's, and the parents funding the whole business who would like to know what they are paying for. The value is practical: a few hours here can close what normally takes months of email, and you leave with a shortlist of real options instead of browser tabs.

   Invitations are arranged in advance through a separate registration on the organiser's site. The Novotel stands on the seafront strip of Trần Phú, within walking distance of most of the resort part of town.
