In order to provide opportunities for excellent students in Vietnam to study, develop skills and experience international cultural exchange, the DB Kim Jun Ki Cultural Foundation launched the DB Dream Leader Global Scholarship program in Vietnam.

The program aims to award scholarships to students with excellent achievements and to award development scholarships to two universities, Thang Long University and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology. A total of 30 students were awarded scholarships, with 15 students per school.

Each student will receive a scholarship worth about 20 million VND. Along with that is the opportunity to participate in volunteer activities at community facilities, participate in cultural exchange programs and international volunteer activities between Vietnam and Korea.

At the launching ceremony of the DB Dream Leader Global scholarship project, which took place on September 26 at the headquarters of VNI Insurance Company and BSH, Mr. Kim Jeong Nam, Vice President of DB Insurance Group, expressed his hope that the scholarship project will be a solid stepping stone for students to become creative talents with the ability to lead society in the future.

“As President Ho Chi Minh once said: For the benefit of ten years, plant trees, for the benefit of a hundred years, cultivate people. The activities that you participate in the program will be your first meaningful step in fulfilling your community responsibility and contributing to society,” said Mr. Kim Jeong Nam.

Mr. Truong Ngoc Kim, Vice Chairman of the Board of Thang Long University, said that with the desire to create the best conditions for students to study, practice and develop themselves, as soon as receiving information about the DB Dream Leader Global project, Thang Long University actively worked with relevant parties to quickly deploy this scholarship program to students.

"In the context that Vietnam has just experienced many difficulties due to natural disasters, the scholarship program is truly a timely and valuable support. It not only helps the students reduce their financial burden but is also a great source of encouragement, motivating them to continue to strive to study and participate in social activities," Mr. Truong Ngoc Kim emphasized.

The DB Kim Jun Ki Cultural Foundation was established in 1988 by DB Insurance Group founder Kim Jun Ki. With the motto "The future belongs to those who dare to challenge with dreams and hopes", the foundation has invested 99 billion won to provide scholarships to 5,700 university students and organize many meaningful activities.

In Korea, the Dream Leader Scholarship Program was launched in 2016 to select outstanding students from 4-year universities nationwide. The program does not only provide scholarships, but also helps students become people who know how to share and contribute through volunteer activities.

Held for the first time in Vietnam, the DB Dream Leader Global scholarship program promises to bring comprehensive development opportunities to Vietnamese students, while contributing to creating positive impacts for the community.
