Vallet scholarships were awarded to 116 outstanding students from Nghe An province.

On the afternoon of September 4th, Vinh University, in collaboration with the "Meeting Vietnam" Science and Education organization and the Vallet Scholarship Fund, held the Vallet Scholarship Award Ceremony for the 2024-2025 academic year for students in Nghe An province who have achieved outstanding results in their studies and scientific research.

The ceremony was attended by Comrade Bui Dinh Long - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, representatives of provincial departments and agencies; and representatives of the Vallet Scholarship Fund and the Fund's coordinating board in Vietnam.

On this occasion, 116 outstanding students from Nghe An province received Vallet scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year; each scholarship for university students is 29 million VND, and each scholarship for high school students is 15 million VND. Among them are many students who have won international and national awards; students from Phan Boi Chau High School for the Gifted, Vinh University High School for the Gifted, students from Vinh University and Vinh University of Technology and Education; and students from other high schools in the province.

The Vallet Scholarship Fund was established in 1999 through the voluntary contributions of Dr. Odon Vallet, a French Doctor of Law and Professor of Religious History at the Sorbonne University, France. The Vallet Scholarship is a large-scale, non-governmental scholarship that has been operating for the past 25 years, supporting outstanding students in Africa, Vietnam, and Vietnamese students in France.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Esperan Padonou, Director of the Vallet Scholarship Fund, said: In Vietnam, to date, the Vallet scholarship has awarded over 55,000 scholarships, totaling nearly 500 billion VND, to outstanding students across the country, especially those from ethnic minorities and SOS villages; the scholarship amount has increased steadily every year in both quantity and value. Among them, more than 1,000 students have become excellent doctors. The scholarship has contributed to helping students pursue their studies and has also promoted the quality of education in Vietnam in recent years.

Professor Odon Vallet stated that he will maintain this scholarship for at least another 100 years. Each year, the Foundation will increase the scholarship value, hoping to further motivate young people to contribute more to the development of the country.
