Canon scholarships nurture disadvantaged students
PANO – On Oct. 29, the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union and Canon Vietnam co-held a ceremony in Hanoi to grant the scholarship entitled “Canon – Lift up talents’ wings” in the 2017-2018 school year.
This is the 4th successive year the scholarships have been awarded, and this year 31 outstanding students in the provinces of Hai Duong, Ben Tre, Khanh Hoa and Ho Chi Minh City were recognized.
Since its launch in the 2014-2015 school year, the project has bestowed over 104 scholarships, worth VND 2.8 billion in total, to 61 students and 43 pupils across the country.
Using the project, its founders hope to contribute more to the development of the younger Vietnamese generations in particular, and augmenting the progress of education in general.
