HANOI - HO CHI MINH CITY (HCMC) - DANANG
MARCH 3-7, 2023

Capstone Education cordially invites you to participate in its annual spring StudyGlobal Education Fairs that features three (3) cities in all three regions of Vietnam. These fairs are open to all approved and accredited secondary and postsecondary institutions. (US colleges and universities must be regionally accredited, the gold standard of institutional accreditation in that country.)

Since these fairs will follow a hybrid format, the participation options are as follows:

  1. In-person participation: Vietnam has been “open for business” since May 15, 2022. In October 2022, we organized our first in-person fairs (for everyone) in three years. 
  2. Use of an in-country representative: This includes alumni, parents, and staff. 
  3. Online participation: You chat with students and parents with the assistance of Capstone student volunteers. One will be at the venue to greet visitors, collect contact information for follow-up, answer basic questions, and distribute promotional materials and another will be in one of our offices to facilitate the conversation/translation. 
  4. Literature only: A carefully selected and trained Capstone student volunteer greets visitors, answers basic questions, collects contact information for follow-up, and distributes promotional materials. 

We will introduce you to your volunteers, so that you can communicate with them via email and train them via video chat before the fair(s).

1. General Information & the Top 10 Reasons to Join Capstone’s Fairs 

Demand for overseas study has rebounded since Vietnam enter the new normal era. This is a great time to begin, or continue, your recruiting efforts in this important market.

Fair Benefits 

Our fairs are still a great way to introduce your institution to students and parents in different parts of the country who are eager for information about study opportunities in different countries.  It is often the connection you or your representative make with a student or parent that convinces them to choose your institution over others.  (This includes juniors and sophomores who will not be applying for overseas study for another year or two.) In addition to the fairs, representatives are strongly encouraged to participate in the related school visits and other activities.

These fairs benefit both Vietnamese students and their parents and your school representatives in the following ways:

For school participation

  • An opportunity to meet serious prospective students and their parents who are interested in gaining admission to a high school or higher education institution;
  • A comprehensive country briefing that will update you on current market conditions and trends;
  • A chance to create or expand brand awareness for your institution via the extensive pre-event marketing and the fairs themselves in Vietnam;
  • Post-fair follow-up via email, telephone, and Facebook conducted by Capstone’s counselors.
  • Students and parents can search for participating schools on Capstone’s website using a searchable database that is linked to our in-house CRM system.
  • A digital copy of the fair guide will be available on Capstone’s Issuu page following the fairs.

For students and parents

  • An opportunity to learn about the many advantages of overseas study, including internships and post-graduation employment opportunities;
  • A chance to meet with representatives of officially approved high schools, officially accredited institutions of higher education and, in the case of the US, regionally accredited colleges and universities;
  • Informative presentations about important topics of interest such as career assessment, and introversion, extroversion and their implications for study, work, and life; and
  • Free initial advising provided to all participants for all participating schools. The entire fee is refunded, except visa counseling, if desired, if students enroll in a partner school.  Our unique advising approach treats parents and students as our primary clients, not partner schools. We look for best-fit institutions for each and every student.

12 Reasons to Join Our Fairs 

1-   Quality: Only officially approved high schools, officially accredited institutions of higher education and, in the case of the US, regionally accredited colleges and universities, are allowed to join our Hybrid fairs. This is good both for you and the students/parents who attend our fairs, for whom quality is of paramount importance. Honor by association is a win-win proposition.
2-   Reputation:  Capstone Vietnam is one of Vietnam’s leading educational consulting companies.  We pride ourselves on our commitment to innovation, excellence, and ethical business practices.  While our official slogan is Reaching New Heights, we wholeheartedly embraced the unattributed saying, Success Without Integrity is Failure.   
3-   Location:  The fairs are offered in key primary and secondary markets representing all three regions of Vietnam.  Let us know if you have any questions about which cities are most suitable for your institution and its unique profile.
4-   Outreach to local public, private and international schools that send sizable numbers of graduates to study overseas.  This includes large group meetings, classroom visits and mini-fairs. (We try to arrange mini-fairs, whenever possible.)
5-   Convenient and quick online registration and access to important fair-related documents, plus informative pre-fair updates.   
6-   Organic attendance.  Capstone prides itself on reaching out to and attracting bona fide students to its fairs through quality and ethical digital and offline marketing. 
7-   Authoritative country briefing by Dr. Mark Ashwill, an international educator who has lived and worked in Viet Nam since 2005 and first traveled to the country in 1996. 
8-   Post-fair follow-up.  Our staff follow up on all leads via email and phone.  We will also translate a message into Vietnamese that you draft for your student contacts, including fairs and school visits – at no additional charge.
9-   Advertising opportunities in the fair guide to increase your visibility during and after the fairs. The fair guides are distributed to students and parents in our offices and at public events until the next fair series. Follow these links to view the fall 2022 fair guides. 
10-   Integrity:  We always look for the best fit institutions for students and their parents. In addition, our fair attendance is organic (e.g., we don't artificially inflate attendance) and our marketing ethical and extensive.
11-   Free initial advising services:  Provided to all participants. 100% of the advising fee (except visa counseling if desired) is refunded, if students enroll in a partner school.
12-   Customized marketing and venue layout:  Realizing that “one size doesn’t fit all,” we customize some of the marketing and organize the venue layout so that different types of institutions are in different sections of the ballroom to make it easier for students and parents to navigate the event.
