In the 2024 high school graduation exam, female student Nguyen Thi Hong Anh (student of Ly Tu Trong High School, Thach Ha District, Ha Tinh) achieved a score of 28.25 in block C00. With this result, Hong Anh was admitted to the Primary Education Department of the University of Education (Hue University).

However, Hong Anh's situation was extremely difficult. Anh was born without a father, her mother suffered from mental illness so she had to receive long-term treatment at the provincial Center for Treatment - Education - Social Labor. Faced with such a particularly difficult situation, when Hong Anh was 12 years old and her sister was less than 1 year old, the two sisters were accepted into the Ha Tinh Orphanage.

During the 6 years living at the Ha Tinh Orphanage, Anh tried her best to go to school and take care of her younger sister with the mothers at the orphanage.

On the morning of August 25, Hue University of Education in collaboration with Ha Tinh Orphanage organized a scholarship program and welcomed new student Nguyen Thi Hong Anh. Hue University of Education awarded a scholarship of 50 million VND and provided accommodation for the female student for 4 years of university.

Dr. Le Ho Son - Principal of Hue University of Education said that Nguyen Thi Hong Anh had passed the entrance exam to the Primary Education Department, but her difficult circumstances meant that her path to university would be full of difficulties. After understanding her situation, the leadership and lecturers of Hue University of Education sympathized, shared, and awarded her a "Tiep suc den truoc" scholarship worth 50 million VND. This is also the slogan "Humanity - Liberalization - Creation" that the school always takes as its philosophy to comprehensively educate its students.

Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Internal Affairs Committee Nguyen Dinh Hai thanked the leadership of Hue University of Education for their attention to a poor student with special circumstances at the Ha Tinh Orphanage.

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hai hopes that female student Nguyen Thi Hong Anh and other students at the children's village will continue to strive to study and become useful people to contribute to building their homeland and country.

Receiving the scholarship, Nguyen Thi Hong Anh thanked the attention of Hue University of Education, the leaders of Ha Tinh province, and organizations and sponsors who helped and encouraged her to confidently go to university.

"Although my friends and I living in the Ha Tinh Orphanage were born in circumstances lacking family love, we were protected and cared for by our mothers and aunts in the Orphanage to have the achievements we have today. I promise to study seriously, try to practice, strive to achieve high results; soon become a qualified teacher to return to my home province to teach students, especially students in the same situation," Anh said.
