Fulbright University Vietnam (FUV) is a private nonprofit university currently located at the Crescent Plaza in Phú Mỹ Hưng, the new headquarters will be at the Saigon Hi-Tech Park in near future, after the new campus here is done in 2026, both in Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam. It is one of Vietnam's first private, nonprofit institutions of higher education. The FUV concept emerged from discussions convened by the Vietnam Program at the Harvard Kennedy School aimed at planning the next stage in the development of the Fulbright Economics Teaching Program (FETP), a center of public policy research and teaching in Hồ Chí Minh City.

Since 2014, the university's development has been coordinated by the Trust for University Innovation in Vietnam (TUIV), a nonprofit corporation based in the Boston area. TUIV and the Harvard Vietnam Program are recipients of several grants from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State. Peter Welsh, chief operating officer, Ben Wilkinson, executive director and board clerk, and Adam Steinberg, director of development and outreach, earned a cool $198,979, $193,288, and $138,349, respectively, in the fiscal year ending in June 2021.
