Of the sum, Doosan Vina, which is wholly-invested by the Republic of Korea , has contributed US$21,000 and the rest has been granted by the YonKang Foundation. 

This year marks the second time Doosan Vina and the YonKang Foundation have provided scholarships to Vietnamese students. 

The YonKang Foundation was set up by the Doosan Group in 1978, aiming to promote RoK culture and language at universities throughout the world. It has, to date, donated US$450,000 to 16 universities in seven countries. 

Doosan Vina’s Chief Executive Officer Bongjin Cho said the grant is part of his company’s plan to invest in Vietnamese youth, who will be part of the company’s human resources in the future.
