IVCE would like to announce the call for applications for our educational program: Vietnam Teaching Assistantship (ViTA). Since 2000, IVCE has delivered a "Study Abroad in America" conference every summer to help students in Vietnam pursue higher education abroad. The goal of this conference is to provide information about the admission and testing processes in addition to scholarships offered for study in the United States.
According to the Institute of International Education, the number of Vietnamese students attended U.S. colleges and high schools from 2000-2009 as follow,

IVCE has helped more than 5,000 people attend 34 seminars held between 2002 and 2009 throughout Vietnam. Additionally, we have advised over 2,000 people also about how to study abroad in American online. IVCE has a long-term goal of serving 30 to 50 thousand Vietnamese students during 2000-2015.
We believe students who have the opportunity to study abroad will bring back with them ideas and concepts from American universities that can contribute to the development of Vietnam.
The ViTA program is the companion to our “Study Abroad in America” workshop series. Through ViTA, IVCE actively recruits and develops a group of Vietnamese-American college and graduate students to teach TOEFL, SAT, GRE & GMAT workshops to students in Vietnam.
For students who are interested in teaching during the school year, please contact us to make arrangements for the fall, spring, and summer.

ViTA Application
ViTA Liability Form
Please be advised that as a participant in ViTA, you are expected to fundraise money for your own roundtrip travel and other related expenses for the 8-week stay in Vietnam. Past participants have been able to get past this hurdle by applying to grants or fellowships offered by their respective universities. IVCE’s role in this program is one of guidance, coordination and training. We will organize all the logistics for your travel and stay as a group in Vietnam.
Outside of your teaching responsibility, you will have the time and independence to explore Vietnam as it interests you. Although we encourage travel as a group, we understand that you might have personal research projects or independent studies to conduct. IVCE will gladly serve as a point of contact and support for all your endeavors in Vietnam.
IVCE calls for the participation of any student who wants to experience Vietnam first-hand and to contribute toward its educational development. Please respect the deadline, as we might be unable to arrange accommodations for you after that date. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns at nhipsong@ivce.org. We look forward to your participation in ViTA.
