In Vietnam, to date, the Vallet scholarship has awarded more than 53,000 scholarships to outstanding students nationwide, totaling over 550 billion VND; the number and value of scholarships awarded each year are always higher than the previous year.
And over the past two decades, thousands of outstanding students from Nghe An province have received valuable scholarships from the Scholarship Fund, totaling over 30 billion VND.
Representatives from the "Meeting Vietnam" Science and Education Organization and the Vallet Scholarship Fund affirmed that they will maintain this scholarship for at least another 100 years. Each year, the Fund will increase the scholarship value with the hope of further motivating students to study and conduct scientific research, contributing even more to the development of the country.

This is not only a valuable material gift, helping and creating opportunities for the students to study and conduct scientific research, but also demonstrates the special affection and trust that the professors have for the students of Nghe An province, the children of a land rich in a tradition of studiousness, ready to contribute their talents and intellect to the development of their homeland, country, and community.
