At the ceremony, Nutifood also presented 200 boxes of nutritional products with a total value of nearly 50 million VND to students.
Representatives of Nutifood and the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union awarded scholarships to poor students who have overcome difficulties in the city.
As an example of perseverance in studying, Le Minh Tu, a new graduate with honors in English Language from Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry, once thought of dropping out of school because his family could not afford the expenses. His family is poor, Tu's father died early, all the burden fell on his mother's shoulders when she had to raise 3 children who were all of school age.
Thanks to the encouragement of his family, teachers and the timely support of the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai scholarship, Tu was able to touch and continue his "dream" of university.
“ Since entering university, I have always received support from the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai scholarship and the help of generous donors. Therefore, I have been able to feel secure and focus on completing my studies well, and obtain a university degree. On behalf of the students receiving the scholarship, I would like to express my sincere and deep gratitude to the donors who have always cared for and helped us ,” Minh Tu shared.

Also in a difficult situation like Tu, Dang Le Phuong Dung - a final year student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Education was extremely moved when receiving a scholarship and nutritional gifts from Nutifood. Dung said that because of her family's financial difficulties, her parents had to advise her to drop out of school and work as a factory worker.
She struggled a lot and decided to go to Saigon to study at university, to pursue her dream, because for Dung, " only going to school can change your life ". Every day, in addition to her time "studying", Dung takes advantage of the time to do many different jobs, from serving in restaurants, working at shopping malls to doing administrative work at companies... to be able to support her family and pay for her own studies.
For Dang Le Phuong Dung, the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai scholarship is a valuable source of encouragement to help her realize her dream of studying.
“ The scholarship has been a valuable source of encouragement for me over the past 4 years, helping me overcome all difficulties to continue pursuing my dream of becoming a teacher. I am very grateful to the sponsors and the Ho Chi Minh City Women's Union for giving me this opportunity.
I hope to become a successful person in the future so that I can contribute to sponsoring the Nguyen Thi Minh Khai scholarship, continuing to motivate students in similar situations as me ," Phuong Dung said.
