Project No. 48 – Onetime-scholarship for the 25th Anniversary of Vu A Dinh Scholarship Fund
Since 2018, the LOAN Foundation (LOAN Stiftung) has been cooperating with the Vietnamese Vu A Dinh Fund, whose chairwoman is Mrs. Truong My Hoa (Former Vice President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam).
Together we have already implemented projects successfully (construction of boarding houses) in the poor provinces of Yen Bai, Lao Cai and Son La.
The Vu A Dinh Fund has been supporting pupils and students with scholarships for 25 years. At the occasion of its 25th Anniversary, the LOAN Foundation (LOAN Stiftung) will also make a contribution for University Preparatory Students and for University Students from ethnic minorities from poor backgrounds. The children with good school results will be rewarded for their achievements.
An according MOU was signed on June 24th, 2024.
The amount of the scholarship is VND 1.000.000,00 (1 million VND or approx. €37,00) for University Preparatory Students and VND 1.500.000,00 (1.5 million VND or approx. €55,00) for University Students.
