At Lifestart Foundation, we go beyond providing scholarships - we strive to ease the daily struggles of our students and their families through practical support.

Quynh has been a Lifestart Foundation Education Scholarship recipient since Year 8. Growing up in Dien Ban, Quang Nam, she comes from a humble background. Her family of five has endured great hardship, especially after the tragic loss of her father in an accident. Since then, her mother has become the sole provider, earning just 4,000,000 VND per month ($155 USD) from shoe-making—a meager income that must cover all household and education expenses.

Despite these challenges, Quynh remains unwavering in her pursuit of education. She dedicates 6 to 7 hours daily to self-study, determined to create a better future for herself and her family. Her resilience and hard work reflect her strong commitment to breaking the cycle of poverty.

To help ease some of the financial strain, Lifestart Foundation has provided Quynh and her family with a much-needed hamper box filled with essential household items, including rice, cooking oil, fish sauce, soy sauce, toothpaste, dishwashing liquid, shampoo, shower gel and washing powder. Quynh and her family are deeply grateful for this assistance as it allows Quynh’s family to save money for other necessary expenses, providing them with much-needed relief.

We hope that with continued support from Lifestart Foundation, Quynh will stay motivated and have the resources she needs to achieve academic success.

📜 𝐃𝐀𝐓’𝐒 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑:

Dear everyone at Lifestart Foundation,

My name is Phan Phuoc Dat, a second-year student majoring in Information Technology at Danang University of Science and Technology. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Lifestart Foundation for awarding me this valuable scholarship, which has significantly helped ease the burden of my tuition fees.

Before receiving the scholarship, I faced significant challenges around my education and living expenses. I come from a financially disadvantaged family where both my parents are farmers. Unfortunately, their health has been declining, and they suffer from multiple chronic conditions including lumbar spine degeneration, severe insomnia, sinusitis and stomach ulcers. As a result, they are unable to do heavy labor and must take regular medication. Over the past 2 to 3 years, their health has worsened significantly and their income of 6 to 7 million VND per month is unstable. I have a younger brother in year 12 who is preparing to go to university, adding to the financial burden, and another sister who is currently doing an internship as a doctor and still relies on the family for assistance. Although my eldest sister is married, her family also faces financial difficulties and is unable to provide much support.

When I learned that I had been selected by the generous benefactors at Lifestart Foundation to receive a scholarship, I was deeply moved and overjoyed. This scholarship holds immense significance for myself and my family. It not only alleviates the heavy financial burden on my parents but also serves as a powerful source of motivation, boosting my confidence to overcome challenges and enabling me to focus on my studies and grow personally. With this support, I am able to pursue my education with peace of mind, no longer overwhelmed by concerns about living and academic expenses.

As a second-year Information Technology student at Danang University of Science and Technology, I am currently studying specialized subjects such as Algorithm design and analysis, Databases and Object-oriented programming, along with some general subjects. I dedicate much of my self-studying time to investigating these topics more deeply. Initially, I struggled to grasp some of the foundational knowledge in my major, but with the support of my friends and teachers, I have made significant progress and improved in many areas. I am particularly passionate about programming and software development, as they are fields that encourage creativity and problem-solving.

In the first semester of my second year, my academic progress has improved significantly largely due to having a clear study plan and setting specific goals which I did at the beginning of the school year.

Besides my studies, I actively participated in various extra-curricular activities, such as voluntary blood donation and running events organized by my seniors. These activities have allowed me to give back to society and share the positive values that I have been fortunate enough to receive.

My plan for the near future is to further develop my professional knowledge while setting more goals for myself. I intend to engage in extracurricular activities and sports to improve both my mental and physical health. Additionally, I will focus on developing more effective time management skills. A key priority for me is to improve my English proficiency, not only for reading professional documents but also for better communication in an international work environment. To achieve this, I have created a specific plan to dedicate at least 5 hours each week to self-studying English as well as participating in online courses to develop new skills in the language.

My long-term goal is to become an IT professional, with a particular focus on software development. I am committed to working diligently every day to achieve this aspiration.

In closing, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the kind sponsors, KMS Technology and Lifestart Foundation for funding my scholarship. This support not only alleviates my current financial challenges but also opens up new opportunities for my future, bringing hope to both myself and my family. I promise to utilize this scholarship effectively and to continuously strive in my studies to live up to the trust and expectations you have placed on me. Lastly, I wish Lifestart Foundation continued growth and success.

Sincerely,
Phan Phuoc Dat
