Scholarships
As from the school year 2008/2009 Smart Tulip supports 3 street children in 10th grade (high school). Smart Tulip has promised that these students get a scholarship until the end of high school if they keep getting good results.

Objective
Increasing the chances on the labour market for street children by giving them access to education until the end of high school.

Selection of the street children
The 3 students have previously been educated by the 15 May School (in Ho Chi Minh City). The 15 May School offers free education (primary and secondary school until 9th grade) to approximately 150 children. Children from 6 to 18 years can take part in the education. The school is free and children can enter the school, irrespective of their age, at their own level. The teaching periods have been adapted, because the children must often also work. The children who take part in the education of the 15 May School are referred to by the police, the government or by tourists.

Who gets support of Smart Tulip
The students who Smart Tulip supports are motivated to continue their studies after 9th grade (high school and/or university), but for whom the resources are too limited, because high school is more expensive. Smart Tulip gives scholarships to three students who are in the 10th grade in 2008/2009.
