Vietcombank transformed 10 billion green steps into 7,350 scholarships worth 7.35 billion VND

From steps for health and the environment, Vietcombank transformed into 7,350 scholarships, supporting disadvantaged students on their journey to school.

On the occasion of the opening of the 2026-2027 school year, the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank) coordinated with the Vietnam Children's Fund and schools across the country to launch the scholarship program "Moving forward with you", for students in difficult circumstances who have the will to excel in their studies.

The program is deployed simultaneously in 34 provinces and cities across the country, through Vietcombank's system of 685 sales points, and grassroots unions at 6 subsidiaries. In each area, units coordinate with schools to review and select students from difficult circumstances who have the will to excel in their studies. The awarding of scholarships is held publicly, to the right subjects and in accordance with the actual conditions of each locality.

Accordingly, 7,350 students will receive scholarships worth one million VND each, with a total cost of 7.35 billion VND. The funding source is formed from the donation Vietcombank committed to contribute with the cooperation of officers, employees and customers within the framework of the national walking program "Moving forward with Vietnam - a journey of 10 billion green steps, for a sustainable Vietnam".

The program "Moving forward with Vietnam - a journey of 10 billion green steps, for a sustainable Vietnam" was organized by Nhan Dan Newspaper in coordination with the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of National Defense and the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union on the occasion of the 81st anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2.

The event attracted more than 1.77 million participants, recording more than 10 billion steps in 34 provinces, cities and nearly 3,000 communes, wards, and special administrative zones. The program also established a Guinness World Record for the number of localities simultaneously organizing walking activities to raise environmental awareness.

Accompanying the program, Vietcombank spreads the message "10 billion green steps - Vietcombank accompanies", mobilizing officers, employees and customers to participate and contribute to social security activities through the "Let's move forward with you" account of the Vietnam Children's Fund.

From the results of this community journey, steps for health and the environment continue to be transformed into practical resources, helping students have more learning conditions when entering the new school year.

Representative of the bank, Mr. Hong Quang - Member of the Board of Directors, Chairman of the Trade Union, shared that each scholarship is not only material support but also sends trust and encouragement to students on their learning journey. "We hope that the steps of the community today will give them more motivation to confidently move forward, nurture their dreams and build a better future," Mr. Quang said.

During more than six decades of construction and development, Vietcombank has always associated business activities with social responsibility, devoting resources to education, health care, supporting the poor and many community programs across the country. The awarding of the "Moving Together" scholarship continues to demonstrate that commitment through concrete actions: connecting the participation of banks, officers, employees and customers to create common resources to care for the young generation.
