Ms. Truong My Hoa - former Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, former Vice President of Vietnam, President of the Vu A Dinh Scholarship Fund, and Head of the "For the Beloved Hoang Sa and Truong Sa" Club - shared: "The students who have benefited from the Vu A Dinh Scholarship Fund, although they do not receive further material support after graduation, are always closely monitored and cared for by the Fund. Members of the fund's executive board regularly follow up with them and offer advice when they encounter difficulties in life and work."

According to Ms. Truong My Hoa, generally speaking, after returning to their localities, most of the young people are assigned suitable jobs, especially the girls who have received university education, because the localities are in great need of young, qualified human resources.

"In particular, many students who previously received scholarships have returned to extend their loving support, continuing to contribute to and assist younger generations, creating a strong ripple effect in the community," said Ms. Truong My Hoa.
