Alaminos grants P4 M worth of scholarships
ALAMINOS CITY—The city government recently granted forty-five scholarships, worth P4 million, as financial assistance to poor but deserving students for the coming school year under the Expanded Scholarship Program (CESP).
Re-elected Mayor Hernani Braganza awarded 45 scholarship grants to first time city scholars during a ceremony at city hall on June 10.
Braganza congratulated the scholars and exhorted them to focus on their studies.
The CESP, one of the major components of the city’s Bright Child Program that covers all aspects of the youth development, started in 2005 and has since had 210 scholars.
The city government has so far invested more than P12 million in scholarship assistance, according to city budget officer Rowena Ruiz.
Each scholar, screened and made to undergo a rigid test, can enroll in any course, any college or university in any part of the country.
Full scholars are entitled to receive a P 78,600 stipend for the whole school year, while half-scholars are given P 39,300.—LM
