Specially, the club has provided scientific research support for students in 2 ways, directing school-level projects or joining lecturers on big projects. The club has continued providing support in job search and graduate scholarship application abroad for students with achievements in scientific research. So far, 10 students have been helped to successfully apply for the study funding, which has inspired students to make further effort in study and research.
