2023 - Twelve scholarships - $5,820
We awarded 8 scholarships to ethnic minority students in the Highlands of Quang Ngai Province in 2023 (in 2 groups). These scholarships often serve as the crucial deciding factor in whether these students pursue higher education or remain trapped in a cycle of economic hardship.
