At the event, Nguyen shared that Khanh Hoa is not only integral to his business journey but also his birthplace. The scholarships represent both financial support and encouragement, conveying his belief in the younger generation who will contribute to the prosperity of their homeland.
"No one chooses where they are born, but they have the right to choose how they rise. Each step taken to overcome challenges today will lay a solid foundation for tomorrow's success. Khanh Hoa needs young people who dare to dream, act, and contribute. I believe that among you here today, there will be dedicated teachers, talented doctors, outstanding entrepreneurs, and exemplary citizens who will bring honor to our country," Nguyen stated.
