BioTuring Student-Support-Student Program 2026

About the program

The Student-Support-Student is a community initiative jointly organized by BioTuring and our partner organizations, including Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM), and Fly to Sky (FTS).

Our mission is to create meaningful and sustainable educational support by connecting high-achieving high school students (“Buddies”) with talented high school students from underprivileged backgrounds (“Supported Students”).

Instead of a one-time donation, the program provides semester-long peer mentorship, giving students the opportunity to learn, share, and grow together.
