Tay Nguyen University shares the difficulties with students in flood-affected areas.

To share the difficulties faced by students, Tay Nguyen University recently collaborated with sponsors to organize a scholarship program for students whose families suffered severe damage due to natural disasters in 2025.

At the event, the Tay Nguyen University Student Support Fund awarded 100 scholarships worth 200 million VND (2 million VND per scholarship). Vidan Co., Ltd. awarded 75 "Lighting Up Dreams" scholarships worth 150 million VND to 75 students (2 million VND per scholarship) residing in localities in Dak Lak province severely affected by floods; Photo Phuong Anh business and other benefactors awarded 6 scholarships worth 24 million VND to 6 students (4 million VND per scholarship) whose families were severely affected by floods in Hoa Thinh, Hoa Xuan, Hoa My communes and Dong Hoa ward.

Dr. Nguyen Thanh Truc, Rector of Tay Nguyen University, encouraged students to overcome difficulties and continue their studies.

Bui Quoc Tuan (a 5th-year student, class YK21D, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy), one of the scholarship recipients, shared: "Typhoon No. 13 swept through An Nhon town ( Gia Lai province), leaving behind a pile of rubble. My family's single-story house, located right in the eye of the storm, was destroyed. As soon as the storm subsided, floods came, isolating my entire family in a sea of ​​water for many days."

Difficulties piled upon difficulties when Tuan's father was involved in a traffic accident and has been unable to work for many years. All the burdens of providing for the family and tuition fees fell on his mother's shoulders, who sold porridge from a small stall at the local market. "Our house is damaged, and my mother has to set up a temporary shelter to cook, leaving me at a loss as to how to manage. There are still many difficulties, as I still have over a year left before graduation. The scholarship I received is a great gift that gives me the confidence to continue my studies," Tuan said emotionally.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Nam, Vice Rector of Tay Nguyen University, presents scholarships to students.

The family of Ho Ngoc Quynh Huong (a first-year student in the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology) in Hoa Thinh commune, Dak Lak province, also suffered heavy losses due to the floods, with their house submerged under 2.5 meters of water. All machinery, vehicles, tools, and 1 ton of stored rice were damaged; livestock were swept away by the floodwaters…

Students whose families were affected by natural disasters in 2025 will receive scholarships through this program.

According to Dr. Nguyen Thanh Truc, Rector of Tay Nguyen University, the scholarships are not only material support but also an affirmation that Tay Nguyen University and the community are always by the students' side, accompanying them during the most difficult times. It is believed that this will give students more motivation to overcome challenges, continue to strive in their studies, realize their career dreams, and become high-quality human resources that enrich their families, hometowns, and the country.
