Scholarships worth VND500 million were granted to 384 children from poor veteran families in HCMC and Long An Province last week.

Dong Tam Group in collaboration with the Veteran Fund under the management of the HCMC Veteran Association granted the scholarships to kids with good school results at Dam Sen Park.

One hundred of the scholarships were awarded to students in Can Giuoc District in Long An Province. Apart from cash, the organizing committee also donated bags and stationeries to the children. This is the first time Dong Tam Group has joined hands with the Veteran Fund to carry out the scholarship program.

The Veteran Fund which was established in December 2009 aims to support poor veterans and people who had contributed to the liberation of the country. The fund also sponsors the veterans’ children who are doing well in their studies in HCMC. It has so far donated 45 houses of gratitude to poor veterans and 2,200 wheel-chairs for the disabled and Agent Orange victims.
