The total value of the scholarships for the 2009-2010 school year is US$200,000. 

The beneficiaries will receive financial support for their studies until they graduate from high school. 
The scholarships are part of the EMW-implemented Scholarship Programme to Enhance Literacy and Learning (SPELL), which provides tuition, books, uniforms and other educations cost for poor students. 

Starting in 2004 with the first 1,500 student granted scholarships, SPELL has since then financially supported nearly 4,800 students in seven provinces and cities, raising the EMW’s total scholarship value to nearly US$4 million. 

As an international non-governmental organisation, EMW has operated in Vietnam for 21 years, covering health care, education, safe water and environment, construction and other areas.
