The ceremony and scholarship awarding ceremony was attended by the teachers of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, former leaders and staff of the Faculty, as well as the entire current Board of Directors and lecturers and nearly 800 students, postgraduates and doctoral students of the Faculty of History.
In a solemn and warm atmosphere of teacher-student affection, Associate Professor Dr. Dang Hong Son (Head of the History Department) expressed his deep gratitude and best wishes to the generations of teachers who have been and are working at the History Department on the occasion of November 20. The intellectual dedication, talent and effort of the teachers are the invaluable heritage, the solid foundation for the next generation to inherit and develop the brand "General History - Humanistic History" to a new height.
Associate Professor, Dr. Dang Hong Son shared: “The Le Van Huu Scholarship and the Dinh Xuan Lam Award are the efforts, emotions, intelligence and assets that generations of teachers, students, postgraduates and doctoral students have dedicated to those who have achieved many achievements and made great efforts; to encourage learning, encourage talent and encourage passion for History. We hope that the goal of the two funds to discover, nurture and guide the careers of the “quintessence” of History and Culture in the country will be increasingly developed in the future. The Le Van Huu Scholarship was established in 2006 – on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Faculty of History. The scholarship was an initiative of the late Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Hai Ke. At the 2024 Vietnamese Teachers' Day Celebration, 22 Le Van Huu scholarships (each worth 2 million VND) were awarded to 22 students with excellent academic achievements, students who are class, Youth Union, and Association officials with good academic achievements, students with difficult circumstances with good academic achievements in courses K66, K67, K68 and K69 students who are valedictorians of the History and Cultural Studies major.
Sending congratulations to 22 excellent students who were honored to receive scholarships, Professor, People's Teacher Vu Duong Ninh, Chairman of the Le Van Huu Fund shared: “Exactly 69 years ago, there was also a bewildered student entering the university lecture hall (at that time it was still on 19 Le Thanh Tong). And that student is now an old man over 90 years old. But compared to the generation of teachers, students are very confident, dynamic, and quick to absorb technological achievements. You are living in the most beautiful days of your youth, life is very long but the time in the lecture hall is very short, so enjoy and make the most of your youthful days, full of youthful energy to study, accumulate knowledge, and hone your skills so that you will not have any regrets and deserve the reward you receive today. And after graduation, with the knowledge and courage passed on by teachers, you should devote yourself to your passion, to the community and maybe continue to spread so that the Le Van Huu Scholarship Fund will grow stronger and stronger". With the purpose of remembering and honoring, and at the same time creating conditions for generations of students, trainees, and researchers to continue studying, continuing the career and multiplying the historical achievements of the late Professor Dinh Xuan Lam, the Dinh Xuan Lam Historical Fund was established in 2017 and proceeded to award prizes to outstanding students, trainees, postgraduates, and lecturers in universities and research institutes nationwide.
According to Prof. Dr. People's Teacher Nguyen Van Khanh, Head of the Executive Board of the Dinh Xuan Lam Award, from its establishment until 2021, the award was only given to candidates from Hue and beyond, but from 2022, the Fund has expanded nationwide. In 2024, the Executive Board of the Dinh Xuan Lam Award received more than 30 applications from schools and academies, and not only students, HC, and PhD students but also lecturers with outstanding research and publications were selected for the award. After reviewing the submitted applications, evaluating them objectively, fairly, and carefully, the Executive Board of the Fund selected 22 outstanding students, Masters, PhDs, and lecturers to award the award. Among them, there are 15 students, 2 new Masters, 3 new PhDs, 2 young lecturers from universities and academies in Thai Nguyen, Hanoi, Thua Thien Hue, Da Nang, Can Tho, Ho Chi Minh City and Quy Nhon, with a total prize value of nearly 250 million VND.
On behalf of the Award Executive Board, Prof. Dr. People's Teacher Nguyen Van Khanh sent a message: "Professor Dr. People's Teacher Dinh Xuan Lam, a famous historian, a respected teacher who devoted his whole life to the cause of education, training and scientific research - A man who devoted himself to the "history profession". Next year will be the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late Prof. Dinh Xuan Lam, so I respectfully request the Faculty of History and generations of teachers, students, trainees, postgraduates and staff to join together to remember him with the most practical activities. In the warm atmosphere of teacher-student relationship, I express my deep gratitude to generations of teachers who have wholeheartedly accompanied many generations of students, contributing to the training of true scientists, useful citizens, with intelligence, compassion and willingness to devote themselves to the cause of building and defending the Fatherland of Vietnam". On behalf of the students, postgraduates and lecturers who received scholarships and awards, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Sang (Da Nang University of Education), one of two young cadres who received the Dinh Xuan Lam Award for his excellent published work, said: “Today I am truly moved and honored to receive the prestigious award from the Foundation named after Historian Dinh Xuan Lam - one of the four professors honored as the “Four Legendary Pillars” of modern Vietnamese History. For us, this is not only a recognition of our efforts in studying, scientific research and work, but also a great encouragement and motivation for us to continue to strive for more for the development of ourselves and of the history industry of our country. With this great honor, we are aware that the results we have achieved today are still very small compared to the affection, effort and priceless spiritual gifts that our teachers have given us. On the occasion of the ceremony to honor Historian Dinh Xuan Lam, On behalf of all students, trainees and postgraduates, I would like to send you my best wishes and deep gratitude from the bottom of my heart.
