It earlier granted US$7.2 million to the university for 2017-2020.

The US Government’s support to FUV through USAID and the US Department of State has helped the university with both administration and training.

The establishment of the FUV - Vietnam’s first independent and not-for-profit higher education institution - was announced in HCM City on May 25, 2016.

It is the next step in the existing Fulbright Economics Teaching Programme, a public policy master’s programme at the Ash Centre within the Kenney School of Government at Harvard, established in 1994 in cooperation with the HCM City-based University of Economics.

Founded under the Prime Minister’s Decision No 819/QD-TTg dated May 16, 2016, the university opened at the end of 2016 with the first courses offered by the department of public policy and management.
