Gift for Dad
It has been 3 years since her mother passed away, but Trieu Thuy Chi still occasionally trembles with feelings of loss and love for her mother. With the 2024 high school graduation exam results for group C00 (Literature: 9.5 points; History 9.0 and Geography 10) reaching 28.60 points, Thuy Chi became the valedictorian of the group of Educational Sciences and Others at the University of Education, Vietnam National University, Hanoi.
But few people know that behind that achievement is the tireless efforts of this small female student with unfortunate circumstances. Thuy Chi was born and raised in Nam Hoa commune, Nam Truc, Nam Dinh. Chi's life flowed peacefully with her parents. When giving birth to her second child, Chi's mother showed signs of depression. In 2017, when her third child was born, her mother's illness relapsed, and her grandmother passed away, so she had to be hospitalized for treatment. The family's difficulties became even more difficult. Chi's father had to work as a motorbike taxi driver to have money to buy medicine for his mother. His father's efforts suddenly went with the wind in 2021, when his mother followed her grandmother.

This loss cannot be compensated for Chi and her father. Since the day their mother passed away, their father has also been psychologically affected, so his mind is not clear. In addition to farming, he also works as a rice miller. The income is not enough when all three Chi sisters are at the age of eating and studying. This year in particular, Chi entered university, far from home, with the cost of living and tuition increasing many times. Chi did not choose pedagogy because she knew she could not handle the pressure. Her biggest motivation right now is that her father always tries to make sure that the three sisters can go to school fully. With the results achieved in the recent high school graduation exam and university entrance exam 2025, Chi considers it a small gift for her father, who always silently sacrifices for her children.
Currently, Chi continues to maintain good academic performance while taking on the role of class secretary with the goal of not only improving her knowledge but also developing her leadership and teamwork skills. Chi's immediate goal is to have a foreign language certificate to expand her learning and research opportunities, strive to maintain her grades to win scholarships, and reduce the financial burden on her father. In the more distant future, Chi hopes to become an expert in the field of educational quality management in her field of study.
Don't give up
At the beginning of the 12th grade (October 2023), Nguyen The Vu discovered he had a cerebellar tumor. The disease not only hurts physically but also mentally. Lying in bed for 3 months, Vu thought a lot. “I always thought I had to try harder. While other friends tried 100%, I had to try 200%,” Vu shared. Coming from a poor family in the poor mountainous district of Quy Hop, Nghe An, and suffering from a serious illness, Vu had a time of uncertainty. But the dream of changing his circumstances always urged Vu to try harder. During the 2024 university admission season, Vu was in the top 3 candidates with high scores at Vinh University with a total score of 27 points for the C00 group (Literature 9.2 points; History 8.8 points; Geography 9.0 points).

Her father left to start a new family when Dung was young; her mother had cancer and died in 2020. Dung lives with her grandmother. The family is poor. Or Ma The Hoang, a student at Hanoi Pedagogical University 2, lost his parents at a young age and lived with his grandparents. Then his grandfather passed away, and now the family has only two grandmothers and grandchildren.
Student Quach Thi Thanh, Hong Duc University (Thanh Hoa) has no father, her parents got married when she was young. Thanh lives with her grandmother, who is now 75 years old. Her average income is only 200,000 VND - 300,000 VND / month. In 2023, after finishing grade 12, Thanh decided to go to work. But real-life experiences urged Thanh to return to school and in 2024 she took the high school graduation exam.
This year, the Organizing Committee received more than 350 applications from universities and academies across the country. Based on the criteria, the Organizing Committee selected 30 students from the Northern region and 60 students from the Southern region to receive scholarships.

Each scholarship is worth 10 million VND in cash and many meaningful and valuable items.
