Vallet scholarships awarded to 212 excellent students in Central provinces

The total value of the scholarships is nearly 3.5 billion VND (140,590 USD).

Outstanding students receive Vallet scholarships at a ceremony in Dong Hoi city on September 3.

The Vallet Scholarship Fund was established in 2001 by Professor Odon Vallet from France’s Sorbonne University, through the Meeting Vietnam organization. To date, more than 55,000 outstanding Vietnamese students and pupils have been presented with the Vallet scholarships worth over 500 billion VND in total.

In his remarks at the ceremony, Professor Tran Thanh Van, Chairman of the Meeting Vietnam organization, said he hopes that the scholarship winners will continue their efforts on the path of learning and success, thereby significantly contributing to building the country in the future.

This year, more than 2,000 Vallet scholarships, whose total value exceeds 40 billion VND, are set to be presented to Vietnamese pupils and students across the nation.

In addition to granting scholarships for local students, the science and education organization "Meeting Vietnam" has also sponsored the upgrading of facilities for schools and provided books for libraries in Quang Binh province.
