On March 25, the Vietnam Young Talent Support Fund, in collaboration with the Center for Science, Technology and Young Talent Development, Tien Phong Newspaper, and Number One (Tan Hiep Phat Trading - Service Company Limited), hosted the "Enduring Passion" award ceremony.
After nearly three months of its launch and a rigorous evaluation process, the Board of Specialists selected outstanding individuals and projects to honor.

Additionally, 2 billion VND was granted to five individuals for their remarkable projects in science and technology.
Earlier, VND 700 million had been awarded to 10 Outstanding Young Vietnamese of 2024 and eight Promising Young Vietnamese of 2024, further underscoring the event's significance in encouraging and celebrating youthful talent.
Honoring the Journey of Effort and Perseverance of the Young Generation
With enthusiastic support and engagement from the community, especially the youth, the inaugural success of the "Enduring Passion" award has solidified its role in recognizing and celebrating the talents of the younger generation. Furthermore, the award serves as a platform to share deeply inspiring stories of resilience, dedication to creative pursuits, and a heartfelt commitment to serving the community and contributing to the nation.

By doing so, the award strives to nurture a generation of young Vietnamese who are driven, tenacious, and unwavering in their pursuit of success.

The “Enduring Passion” Award was presented to 11 outstanding individuals and projects. |
The "Enduring Passion" award serves as an opportunity for individuals and the community to reflect on the extraordinary journey of persistent efforts and tireless dedication demonstrated by young talents across various fields. The honored individuals not only bring pride to the nation but also exemplify a generation of young Vietnamese who masterfully balance their personal passions, daily lives, and a spirit of dedication to the community. Through their stories, the award contributes to driving the nation’s holistic development alongside progress in education, professional endeavors, and entrepreneurial pursuits.
What sets the "Enduring Passion" award apart is its focus on celebrating not only achievements in academics, professional work, culture, and sports but also the embodiment of noble human values. Each honoree and their projects stand as testaments to the fusion of inner strength, perseverance, and a genuine desire to contribute. This reinforces the belief that Vietnam's younger generation is not only skilled and accomplished but also resilient in overcoming adversity, eager to face challenges, and committed to spreading positive values to the community.
Among the 11 exceptional individuals recognized this year was athlete Nguyen Thi Oanh, the first Vietnamese track and field athlete to claim four gold medals at the SEA Games. Expressing her joy and pride, Oanh shared that the award marked a significant acknowledgment of her relentless efforts throughout her nearly two-decade-long pursuit of professional sports. She candidly reflected on the many failures and hardships that caused her to question herself along the way. Yet, it was her unwavering determination and perseverance that ultimately led her to triumph.

For Nguyen Thi Oanh, the most meaningful aspect of the recognition is not just the acknowledgment, but the inspiration her journey can provide to others, especially young sports enthusiasts. “For me, sports are not only about competition and achievements, but also about passion, perseverance, endurance, and the spirit of overcoming personal limits. If my story can motivate someone, that is the greatest happiness,” Nguyen Thi Oanh shared.
Echoing this sentiment, talented young golfer Nguyen Anh Minh—Vietnam’s highest-ranking golfer on the World Amateur Golfer Ranking (WAGR)—spoke about his pride in receiving the "Enduring Passion" award. Alongside his teammates, Nguyen Anh Minh earned Vietnam’s first golf medals at the 32nd SEA Games and various international tournaments. He expressed that the award is not only an encouragement but also a significant source of motivation to continue striving for greater accomplishments. “The 'Enduring Passion' award holds great importance in my career. It helps me reflect on past efforts and aspire to achieve even bigger goals in the future. I understand that my journey to conquer the heights of golf and the dream of elevating Vietnam’s position in the global golfing community has just begun. There is still a long road ahead with numerous challenges. This award strengthens my confidence in the path I’ve chosen, and it fuels my determination and drive to reach new heights,” said Nguyen Anh Minh.
