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.
(*) According to the
standards set by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education in 2018, a student is
rated “Excellent” for achieving the grade of 8/10 in 6 subjects, and
“Outstanding” for achieving 9/10 in 6 subjects. Schools no longer calculate
grade averages.

situation in Hồ Chí Minh City in 2023 and 2024, BTCSF was still able to award 253
million VND to 19 students at Lê Hồng Phong High School. Six of these 19
students received 15 million VND each due to the greater economic difficulties
of their families; others received 13 million VND each. Five students who had
