Hierarchy
It is important to restate that each VSA is autonomous, and that it enters coalitions by choice. Unlike other chapter-based organizations that may require dues or an adherence to organizational policy for each chapter, these coalition-based organizations of VSAs exist autonomously as well. Also, there might be some organizations that have a broader youth-based constituency rather than the more limiting qualification of being a student. The following list helps to clarify the scope of each organization.
| Scope | Examples |
|---|---|
| International | Len Duong International Vietnamese Youth Network |
| Continental/National | Federal Vietnamese Students Association of Australia (FVSAA) Union of North American Vietnamese Student Associations (UNAVSA) |
| Regional | Mid-Atlantic Union of Vietnamese Student Associations (MAUVSA) Union of Vietnamese Student Associations of the Midwest (UVSA Midwest) |
| State/Province | Union of Vietnamese Student Associations of Southern California (SoCal UVSA) Vietnamese Students Association of Victoria (VSAV) |
| Metropolitan | Association Générale des Etudiants Vietnamiens de Paris (AGEVP) Vietnamese American Youth Alliance of San Diego (VAYA) |
| Campus | San Diego State University Vietnamese Student Association (SDSU VSA) |
