An-Duyen Charitable Foundation has established the Valedictorian Scholarship to recognize outstanding high school graduates or college students who have overcome incredible challenges to succeed in school. Our hope is their stories are recognized and celebrated, and more importantly inspire other students to overcome their own challenges, reach for the stars, build the inner strength, and shape their character and identity, nurture integrity… In our eyes, these students are the valedictorians, even if they may not have the highest GPA, the perfect SAT score, the musical or athletic talents, or the inspiring graduation speech. We truly believe that they will succeed in any future endeavors and lead a meaningful and happy life. We salute and send them the best wishes.
Update (Jan 2026): The Foundation decided to re-direct the scholarship to support 5 students in Sri Lanka on a long term basis.
