(1)   Donation total from 2013 to 31 December 2021: 24,684.89 USD, 3419.23 CAD, and 1,549,500,000 VND

 

In 2021, despite the continuing economic slowdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Bùi Trọng Chương scholarship fund (BTCSF) received 1,300 USD, 400 CAD,  and 577 million VND in donations (equivalent to 26,828 USD), including 510 million VND at the end of the year from the Sharing charity group in Saigon, headed by Mrs. Mai Thị Hạnh. This is a record fund-raising year for BTCSF thanks to the efforts of Mr. Lê Nhựt Tân and Ms. Nguyễn Thị Tranh. Most of the donations from the Sharing charity group are put into the BTCSF endowment, that means, only interests can be used for scholarship awards on a long-term basis.

 

BTCSF increased the number of scholarships from 14 in 2019-20 to 23 in 2021-22. Mr. Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến’s company Vietnam Centrepoint   continued to provide 23 foreign language bursaries (VND 10 million each) to 23 Bùi Trọng Chương scholarship recipients in 2021-22. Due to online schooling in Saigon in the first semester of the 2021-22 school year, these bursaries can be used starting in January 2022.

 

(2)  1,090 USD from the USD operating account and 19,825.71 USD from 455 million VND in the VND operating account bring the new investment total to 20,915.71 USD in 2021.
