NEW SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED
TO VIETAMESE STUDENTS
A new scholarship fund has been
established by the American
Friends of Vietnam to help Vietnamese students further their education in the United States. The
Elinor Dubin Memorial Scholarship Fund, named in honor of a
former executive secretary of the
organization, will be administered
by the Institute of International
Education.
The fund will make grants to
Vietnamese students whose studies
in this country promise to contribute to the welfare and development of Vietnam.
The American Friends of Viet
nam, a private, non-profit organization, was founded in 1956 to promote friendly relations between
the United States and Vietnam. In
the past, the organization has held
conferences, distributed publications and conducted other public
information services to further this
goal. In addition, grants have been
made to Vietnamese universities
and gifts of clothing and supplies
have been made to the Vietnamese
people.
The Institute of International
Education is the oldest and largest
private multi-national organization
in the field of exchange of persons.
