As of August 2, the provincial Border Guard units have sponsored and helped 86 students, with a total support of 516 million VND (each student receives 500,000 VND/month).
The sponsored students are students with difficult circumstances, no support, orphans, homeless (policy families, children of prestigious people, people actively participating in border protection, students from ethnic minorities with a small population)... but have made efforts to study well and excellently.
In addition to providing financial support to students, the units also send staff to help, tutor, monitor and encourage them during their studies.
