As part of its annual commitment to supporting students from low-income families, LHU continued to organise the “LHU Tet Homecoming Bus” programme, providing free transportation for students returning to their hometowns during the Tet holiday. In 2025, marking the sixth consecutive year of the programme, more than 450 students received 100% free transportation. University-arranged buses carried students to seven provinces in Central Vietnam and the Central Highlands, including Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Phu Yen, Kon Tum, and Lam Dong. By covering the full cost of transportation, LHU helped reduce the financial burden on students and their families during the Tet holiday.

Before departure, LHU also organised the “Tet Homecoming Bus Gala”, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere for students. The programme combines transportation assistance, material support, and emotional encouragement, with particular attention given to students experiencing difficult financial circumstances.
