In 2021, before the complicated development of the pandemic, “Lawrence S. Ting Scholarship Award Ceremony” was not held, but the Lawrence S. Ting Foundation continued to support 239 scholarships directly for students and 4.95 billion dong for charity Funds and Associations. This timely support not only gave students more motivation to rise up, but also was a “lifesaver” for them to overcome difficulties during the pandemic. This year, “The 20th Lawrence S. Ting Scholarship Award Ceremony and the 2022 Sponsorship Ceremony” is expected to be held in September 2022, in Phu My Hung, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, including direct and indirect scholarships.

Ting scholarship also sows seeds of charity in theirhearts, encouraging a sense of responsibility towards the community, so that when they become adults, they know how to care more, help those in difficult circumstances and contribute to the community. This is the foundation of humanity and the long-term goal of the Lawrence S. Ting scholarship program.
The Lawrence S. Ting scholarship program was initiated in 2006 and has been operating for 17 years now. After each scholarship award, the Foundation still keeps in touch with and updates students’ information.

In order to create more motivation for future generations and encourage them to overcome their fate, the cooperation from units, businesses and individuals will make a significant contribution to helping them have a brighter future.
