PANO – The Liaison Board of the Border Guards granted the scholarship “For the sentiment of comradeship” to southern students on October 29 in Ho Chi Minh City.
Accordingly, 126 scholarships, worth VND 2 million each, were presented to students who qualified by virtue of being sons and daughters of former border troops from the province of Binh Dinh to the southernmost locality.
