Vietnamese Seed Fund launched to assist talents
Addressing the launch ceremony, the
Editor-in-chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Thuan Huu, emphasised that the
fund is an effort to follow late President Ho Chi Minh’s ideology of
learning for the entire life and building a learned society, at the same
time promoting Vietnam ’s traditional fondness for learning and
mutual assistance.
On its opening day, the fund
presented 15 scholarships worth 20 million VND (960 USD) each to
talented individuals who achieved good results in international
Olympiads and students from poor families who came out on top in
university entrance exams.
The fund will mobilise
resources to grant scholarships to students at various stages in their
education. Focusing on unprivileged students and young talent in various
fields, it will promote equal access to education and training./.
