However, as suggested by the functional agencies of Binh Dinh province and based on the actual needs, the Southern provinces of Laos asked in writing Binh Dinh province to continue granting scholarships which start from the school year 2021-2022 to their students.

The total number of scholarship awardees is 20 students to study at Quy Nhon University (18 undergraduates and 02 masters), 20 students to attend the vocational training course from the intermediate professional education diploma level to the degree of associate level and 04 teachers to attend the training course at Quy Nhon College of Engineering and Technology.
