Candidates that have the desire and potential to become business leaders are encouraged to apply. Those who pass all the five rounds of the IPL Scholarship Program will each receive a scholarship worth VND250 million to take part in a world-class training course with special training methods that will help them turn their leadership potential into reality.

The scholarship beneficiaries will have the chance to attend multiple events such as talks, book discussions, IPL sharing and mentoring to unleash their leadership potential. These events will feature leading scholars from multiple fields such as philosophy, history, culture, science, literature, arts, music, management and economics.

The IPL Scholarship Program is a combination of enlightened education and leadership development. The IRED Institute of Education will be in charge of the enlightened education section, while the PACE Institute of Management and its international partners such as FranklinCovey Worldwide, Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute, Balanced Scorecard Institute, Lean Startup and Harvard Manage Mentor will be in charge of the leadership development section.

Speaking at a ceremony to announce the scholarships on April 25, Gian Tu Trung, president of IRED Institute of Education and principal of PACE Institute of Management, said the founders of IPL want to contribute to developing a new generation of businesspeople that possess not only leadership capacity but also cultural depth, humanity and national pride.

“They are businesspeople who do not aim to earn money at all costs, but by serving the society through their good products and services,” Trung said.

On the occasion of the opening of the IPL Scholarship Program 2021, PACE Institute of Management held an IPL Talk with the theme, “Redefining Leadership and Talent”, in HCMC on April 25, attracting some 1,000 young businesspeople and leaders. Hosted by Gian Tu Trung, the event is part of the “Find a New Businesspeople Generation for the New Era with IPL” series jointly organized by the PACE Institute of Management and IPL Scholarship Program.
