Frequently asked questions
How are scholarships decided?
ABG does not award scholarships based on achievements or personal experience. Instead, it looks for young people with potential who fit the program. Higher scholarships go first to applicants from provinces outside Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, or with limited financial means.
What is the program schedule?
The program runs for 16 weeks. The main session is on one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday, about 3 hours), plus an online group study session on one weekday evening.
I am not in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. How can I take part?
You join the main sessions on Zoom. ABG encourages participants in the same city to connect and study together, and organizes in-person meetings with speakers and mentors when possible.
Can I apply if I am outside the age range?
The 25–35 age range fits the members of the ABG network. ABG still considers special cases: people with leadership experience who have been through failure and challenges, and who want to contribute to the community.
Does the program have tests?
There are no tests, but participants must meet some commitments to complete the course.
