After five years of implementing a project entitled ‘Scholarships to develop education and skills for pupils and students with difficult circumstances in Da Nang’, the city’s Association of Charities and Children's Rights Protection has supported more than 1,200 students living in difficult circumstances with a total funding of over VND10.5 billion. The money has been used to give scholarships, tablets and laptops, as well as support tuition fees, and summer English courses, for those in need.

Scholarships have been divided into different levels depending on students’ academic results, thereby motivating them to study well and achieve good academic results. In particular, scholarships range from VND500,000 to VND50 million/student/year.

Sponsored by the Thai Binh Arms Organisation, the project has contributed to motivating children to study well as well as reducing the financial burden on their families when entering a new school year.
