About ESE Scholarship
ESE SCHOLARSHIP
(2010-2011)
Introduction:
ESE Scholarship Fund has been established by the staff, students, and friends of the English Sharing Experience (ESE) organization to encourage and assist bright, committed, but financially challenged students in Vietnam.
ESE is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization. Our staffs consist of over 40 volunteers who operate an online English class in a Paltalk chat-room. We dedicate to sharing our English skills and experiences with those who are willing to learn. Our volunteers include English-speaking Vietnamese and foreigners from all over the world.
After four years of holding a successful English learning program through Paltalk and eseonline.net, we are encouraged to do more to help potential leaders in our society, thus the inception of the ESE Scholarship Fund.
We believe that every process starts with a small step. We wish to start our first step by creating the ESE Scholarship Fund and offering our helping hands to the society.
Past Activities:
Our first award of $500 USD was given in 2008. Last year, we gave $500 USD each to six (6) full scholarship winners and $250 UDS each to eleven (11) encouragement scholarship winners.
In Vietnam, annual tuition and other educational expenses per student is averaged at $350 USD. Thus, the award of $500 UDS or $250 USD per student is significant.
This year, we have been blessed and have had a successful fund raising year. Our available funding reaches over $12,000 USD. Of which, almost $5,000 USD was contributed by contributors in Vietnam. That is a remarkable amount considering that the 2009 GDP per capital in Vietnam is only $2,900 USD.
We intend to use all available funding every year should there be enough qualified applicants.
