Former middle school students raise more than 2 billion VND in scholarships for students

The 12th Nghia Trung Alumni Day, organized by the Nghia Trung Alumni Association in Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces, took place in Ho Chi Minh City on the evening of May 28th. The program awarded many meaningful scholarships to students from Quang Ngai province studying in Ho Chi Minh City.

Students receive merit scholarships in the program.

Specifically, the program awarded 21 scholarships to students from Nghia Trung Secondary School (Nghia Trung commune, Tu Nghia district, Quang Ngai province). This 12th edition of the program included three types of scholarships: talent encouragement scholarships, academic encouragement scholarships, and scholarships for first-year students (worth 3-5 million VND per scholarship).

Scholarships are awarded based on students' academic performance in the most recent semester or their university entrance exam scores. However, before applying for the scholarship program, students need to write an essay on a given topic each year.

In its 12th year, the theme is reflections on the "Beautiful Road in Nghia Trung" competition – a contest held as part of the new rural development movement in Nghia Trung commune in July 2022.

As the head of the organizing committee, Mr. Bui Huu Hien, a lecturer at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, stated that the main goal of the program is to raise funds for scholarships and honor outstanding students from Nghia Trung Secondary School (Tu Nghia, Quang Ngai). Later, the program will expand to include other activities to increase support resources.

"The scholarship funds were previously raised from benefactors. In the 12th year, there has been support from the very students who previously received scholarships from the program," Mr. Hien said.

Student Mai Thi Xuan Trinh shares her thoughts after receiving the scholarship.

Mai Thi Xuan Trinh, a second-year business administration student at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City, is one of the students awarded the 12th annual merit scholarship.

Sharing her feelings during the program, Xuan Trinh said: "The scholarship is a great motivation and a wonderful gift. It not only provides financial support for our studies but also recognizes our efforts and hard work."

Speaking on behalf of the scholarship recipients, Xuan Trinh stated that they will strive their best in their studies and develop their life skills, so as not to disappoint these noble and meaningful benefactors.

According to the program's summary, after 11 years of implementation, Nghia Trung Day has raised over 2 billion VND from 779 donations, and 378 students have received scholarships. Among these, more than 30 former scholarship recipients have returned to contribute to the program.

The 12th Nghia Trung Festival program has received an additional sponsorship of approximately 320 million VND.
