Vietnam to increase student loan limits to 8 million VND monthly

Starting January 1, 2027, Vietnam will implement a new credit policy for students under Decision 50/2026/QD-TTg. The policy increases the maximum monthly loan amount from 4 million VND to 8 million VND per student.

The preferential loans are designed for Vietnamese citizens facing financial hardships, specifically those enrolled in higher education or vocational training institutions. Eligible groups include orphans, individuals from poor or near-poor households, those with average living standards, or families experiencing sudden financial crises due to natural disasters, epidemics, or accidents.

Experts suggest this policy aims to ensure that economic difficulties do not prevent students from pursuing their education, aligning with national goals to expand financial support and educational opportunities.
