Pursuing a medical degree for a poor student like me is truly difficult, especially in an environment that’s crowded and complex like Saigon City. Housing expense, living expense, cost of food, cost of transportation, combined with books and supplies for school and internship, make a hefty burden. But some of us were lucky enough to receive support from ICAN for tuitions, which then lessened our worries and allowed us to focus on our studies. Now that I have achieved my dream, I promise to keep working hard to become a true doctor, to make everyone ICAN proud. I truly appreciate ICAN’s generosity, along with all the volunteers. I would also like to thank ICAN on behalf of the students in ICAN’s scholarship program, as well as those who have and will receive ICAN’s support in the future. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

"So 4 years of college has gone by, but feels like it was just yesterday. Thinking back to the first days when school just started, I can remember how happy and excited I was, yet terribly worried about the financial difficulties facing me in the coming school years. But I was lucky enough to receive both financial and spiritual support from ICAN’s scholarships. The caring from members of ICAN had motivated me emotionally, helping me to strive and be my best over the last 4 years."
