Poor and ethnic minority students received Vu A Dinh Scholarsips in 2012

Proceeds from the event will go to the Vu A Dinh Scholarsip Fund run by the Central Committee of Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.

The event, to be held on June 15 at the HCM City Theatre, will be broadcast live on the HTV9 channel.

Foreign and local business sponsors are also taking part in the event.

On June 12, the Vu A Dinh Fund organisers signed agreements with several schools and enterprises to carry out two projects. The Uom Mam Tuong Lai (Future Incubator) project will sponsor 36 ethnic students with the total fund of 15.6 billion VND (742,800 USD) in the 2013-14 academic year.

Students at boarding schools will receive free accommodations and tuition.

Another project, Chap Canh Uoc Mo (Dream Chasing), will provide scholarships worth a total of 628 million VND through the 12 th grade to ethnic students this year.
