In 2018, the organisation aims to grant 2,200 Vallet scholarships worth VND 25 billion (USD 1.1 million) to students with excellent academic performance across the country and those from SOS villages.

The programme was funded by a Swedish children’s organisation. Each scholarship is worth VND 3 million (USD 128)./.
