On the afternoon of September 3, in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province, the “Meeting Vietnam” Science and Education Association held the 2024 Vallet Scholarship Award Ceremony for excellent students from the three provinces of Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Ha Tinh.

Speaking at the ceremony, Professor Tran Thanh Van, Chairman of the Science and Education Association “Meeting Vietnam,” said that the Vallet Scholarship Fund is the largest scholarship fund among the scholarship funds of the Science organization “Meeting Vietnam.”

This year, due to health problems, Professor Odon Vallet - the initiator of the Vallet Scholarship Fund and President of the Fund could not come to Vietnam, so he was very sad and regretful that he could not directly award scholarships to excellent students.

Professor Tran Thanh Van said: "The Association of Science and Education "Meeting Vietnam" and the Vallet Scholarship Fund are happy and proud to know that the scholarship recipients are excellent students with excellent academic achievements, overcoming difficulties to study well from the three provinces of Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Ha Tinh. With the spirit of learning, we hope that the scholarships that the students receive today will be a great source of encouragement, giving them wings to fly higher and further on the path of learning, later becoming talented people, serving and contributing to the Fatherland."

Dr. Esperan Padonou, Director of the Vallet Scholarship Fund, said that Professor Odon Vallet will continue to maintain the Vallet Scholarship Fund for another 100 years. In particular, the value of the scholarships will be increased annually to help and support students on their path of study and scientific research, and that value will continue to increase as long as the Vallet Scholarship Fund is in operation. The Fund will also continue to accompany Vietnam in awarding meaningful scholarships to poor students who overcome difficulties and excel in urban, mountainous, remote, border, island, and ethnic minority areas...

Speaking to congratulate and share the joy with the students receiving the Vallet scholarship in 2024, Mr. Hoang Xuan Tan, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Binh province, expressed his gratitude for the affection, care and practical help of the Science and Education Association "Meet Vietnam", Vallet Scholarship Fund, Professor Odon Vallet and the couple Professor Tran Thanh Van - Le Kim Ngoc, the Organizing Committee, and members of the delegation for students from the three provinces of Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Ha Tinh.

Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Binh province Hoang Xuan Tan believes that the Vallet scholarship will truly promote the effect of cultivating virtue, training talent, and encouraging talent development for students receiving this scholarship; at the same time, he hopes that students receiving the Vallet scholarship in 2024 will further promote their achievements in study, research and throughout their lives to not disappoint the kindness of Professor Odon Vallet, Professor Tran Thanh Van and his wife and the organization "Meeting Vietnam" as well as the efforts of their families and teachers who have cared for and taught them; contributing their efforts and intelligence to build their homeland and country to become more and more prosperous.
