In 2021, due to the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, many new students have become orphans. The difficulties are further compounded when relatives lose their jobs and have reduced income. Therefore, the scholarship fund will continue to consider awarding scholarships to more than 1,000 new students in difficult circumstances in 63 provinces and cities across the country with a total budget of more than 12 billion VND.
In addition, the accompanying units also sponsored 50 laptops worth more than 600 million VND for new students with special difficulties and lack of learning equipment; 1,500 backpacks as gifts for new students worth 230 million VND in total.
