Thanks to the generous support of donors, especially those in the Sharing (philanthropy) group, the number of scholarships has increased steadily over the years: 14 scholarships in 2019-20, 21 in 2020-21, 23 in 2021-22, and 26 in 2022-23. They included 23 full scholarships at 11 million VND each, and 3 partial ones at 6 million VND each to 3 students who did not suffer the same difficult family circumstances as the other 23 students. 6 of the 26 scholarship recipients had received BTC scholarships in the previous academic year.
In addition, Mr. Tran Huu Phuc Tien (a member of the Executive Board and CEO of Vietnam Centrepoint Education & Media group) offered each student a foreign-language award worth 10 million VND at Vietnam Centrepoint. This additional award has increased the total value of each full scholarship to 21 million VND and of each partial scholarship to 16 million VND.
