REQUEST FOR SCHOLARSHIP

Dear members,

My name is Nguyễn Trần Trọng Hiếu and I am attending 9th grade at Quang Trung High School.

My family situation has been very difficult. My parents are divorced and my father has left us for over 10 years now. In order to pay for my brother’s school fees and mine, my mother does knitting work. Unfortunately, she’s been sick for a while now. I can no longer go to school because her earnings hardly cover her medication. I wish I could continue my studies to become self-sufficient later in life and to take care of my mother.

Please help me so that I can go back to school. I would be ever grateful to you.

Yours truly,


Nguyễn Trần Trọng Hiếu
