University goes big, spending billions on Independence Day bonuses for students

On the afternoon of August 29, sharing with reporters, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Duc Trung - Principal of Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City gave the above information.

“Especially, on this important national holiday, we hope that this attention will motivate students to enter the new school year with joy and aspiration to contribute,” said Mr. Trung, adding that more than 12,100 full-time students of the school will receive this lucky money gift.

To receive lucky money, the school will deploy it to faculties and organizations to disseminate to students. Students send their account numbers to the school and the accountant will check the transfer as soon as possible.
