Nguyen Truong To Scholarship Awards

VNHelp Nguyễn Trường Tộ Scholarship Awards

On Jan 07, 2022, for the 20th consecutive year, VNHelp granted 161 scholarships to Hue University students from 11 colleges in Thừa Thiên Huế, each worth $US200. The recipients were from families with difficult circumstances who had achieved outstanding academic results. If these students maintain good grades each year, they will continue to receive the scholarship annually until graduation. This year the scholarship distribution event took on an added significance in the midst of a complex Covid-19 pandemic. Small group gathering, social distancing and mask wearing were observed at the event.

While scholarship recipients in Thừa Thiên Huế gathered in small groups, students at other locations received their grants via electronic fund transfer (EFT) to their personal bank account:

– 271 students from 6 Saigon universities, each received $250-$300 grant via EFT

– 120 students from 2 Can Tho colleges, each received $200 grant via EFT

– 75 students in Ha Noi ($250/grant) and 30 students in Ca Mau ($200/grant) will receive their grant soon, hopefully before Tết (Lunar New Year)
