The Vallet Scholarship was established by French scholar Professor Odon Vallet from his inherited wealth to support and encourage students who have achieved outstanding academic results and overcome difficult circumstances to pursue their studies.
In Vietnam, Professor Odon Vallet entrusted the Rencontres du Vietnam organization, founded by Professors Tran Thanh Van and Tran Kim Ngoc, with managing the scholarship program, connecting with students and awarding scholarships to Vietnamese students.
