This formed part of activities of a scholarship program funded by Bao Viet Life Insurance Corporation (BVL), which is jointly organised by the provincial People’s Committee and the Vietnam Children Sponsor Fund (VCSF) under the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs.
The gifts, worth 300 million VND (13,200 USD) in total, came to the needy students with outstanding academic performance from Hung Yen city and nine districts in the province.
Half of them were presented with school bags, bicycles and gifts, while the others received scholarships worth VND1 million ($44) each.
This is the 13th consecutive year the BVL has funded the program, which plans to give VND3.6 billion ($158,400) worth of scholarships and gifts to needy students nationwide.
