The 21st Lotte Scholarship was awarded to 78 students from eight universities in Hanoi, including six students from the School of Oriental Studies. These scholarship recipients have overcome difficult family circumstances to achieve outstanding academic and personal achievements.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Lim Sung Bok expressed his hope that this would motivate students to achieve their life's ambitions, and also offered a message to the students: "If you set clear goals for yourselves, and are determined to follow the path you have chosen with a passionate and unwavering heart, you will surely achieve your goals. I will always support you."

The Lotte Scholarship program, held twice a year, is a symbol of the strong friendship between South Korea and Vietnam, reflecting Lotte Group's desire to contribute to community activities and social responsibility. At the same time, the group's leaders hope that today's outstanding graduates will be the next generation of Lotte Group member companies in the near future.

Established in 1983, the Lotte Foundation awards scholarships to students from disadvantaged backgrounds who have overcome difficulties to achieve high academic and research results. In 2008, the Lotte Foundation came to Vietnam and, through meaningful scholarships, has become a trusted partner for students at prestigious universities in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. In the future, the Lotte Group promises to dedicate even more attention and investment to the nation's young talents.
