On August 19, CEP Microfinance Organization organized a scholarship and learning gift awarding ceremony for 2026 at CEP Vinh Long Branch, to support disadvantaged students to continue going to school.
Mr. Nguyen Trung Cang - Director of CEP Microfinance Organization - Vinh Long Branch - said that in the new school year handover, the unit allocated a total budget of 217.5 million VND to support students in the locality.
In which, 81 scholarships were awarded with a total value of 157.5 million VND, each scholarship from 1.5 - 2.5 million VND. In addition, 64 study gifts, worth 60 million VND, were also awarded to students.
According to CEP Microfinance Organization, in 2026, the unit awarded 2,461 scholarships and 2,670 study gifts, with a total budget of more than 5.7 billion VND. The program is aimed at children and grandchildren of CEP customers in difficult circumstances who strive to rise up in their studies.
Truong Dai Loi - a 2nd grade student - said that his parents have been workers at Ty Xuan Co., Ltd. for many years. The family does not have their own house, has to rent a room, and mainly earns income from worker salaries, so life is still difficult. Room rent, electricity, water and daily living costs account for the majority of income.
My family still has many expenses to worry about, so when I received the scholarship, I was very happy. I will try to study really well, be diligent and achieve more achievements to please my parents, so that the aunts and uncles who give me scholarships can see my efforts," Loi shared.
The scholarship and learning gift program is one of the activities CEP is implementing to accompany workers and laborers in difficult circumstances. Through this, the program contributes to supporting workers' children to maintain their education and have more motivation to rise up.
