Academic Year 2025-2026

On 6 September 2025, during the schoolyear opening ceremony at the Lê Hồng Phong (LHP) High School for the Gifted in Ho Chi Minh City, the school leadership and the management committee of the Bùi Trọng Chương Scholarship Fund (BTCSF) organized the annual BTC scholarship award ceremony.

Despite challenges in scholarship fund raising, BTCSF decided to raise the value of each scholarship to 14 million VND and awarded a total of 266 million VND to 19 outstanding students in adverse circumstances for the academic year of 2025-26. Six of these students had received Bùi Trọng Chương scholarships in 2024-25. In the context of BTCSF’s fund-raising difficulties, four previous scholarship recipients, including a university student, made financial contributions for scholarships.

Mr. Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến, a member of the BCTSF Management Committee and Director of Vietnam Centrepoint, provides an English-language bursary at his foreign-language school to each of the 19 Bùi Trọng Chương scholarship recipients. This bursary is worth 11 million VND each quarter, and thus 44 million VND in one calendar year for students with good study results at Vietnam Centrepoint. The total award value to each BTC scholarship recipient thus amounts to 58 million VND (about 2,250 USD). This is an award record at the high school level in Vietnam.

After the scholarship award ceremony on the large LHP school stage, the BTCSF management committee and LHP High School leadership organized a meeting in a smaller venue. In attendance were the Director of Vietnam Centrepoint, several donors, and scholarship recipients. BTCSF committee presented certificates of appreciation to donors, including the parents of donor and LHP alumna Lê Diệp Kiều Trang, the head and deputy head of Chia Sẻ-Sharing philanthropy group (Mrs. Nguyễn Thị Tranh and Mrs. Nguyễn Ngọc Phượng), teachers Lâm Hoàng Phúc and Đỗ Lưu Vỹ Long, and Mr. Trần Trọng Đoàn, a university student and another BTC scholarship alumnus. Representatives of donors and Mr. Trần Hữu Phúc Tiến also offered advice to students.
