Sunnexdesk

SM FOUNDATION, Inc. has officially announced the start of the application for SM Scholarship Program for 2023.

The SM Scholarship Program started from the vision of the late SM patriarch, Henry “Tatang” Sy, Sr. He believed that if you send one child from an economically challenged family to college, that child would have more opportunities to have gainful employment and later on uplift the economic status of his/her family.

Once accepted, the college scholar will enjoy choice of specialization in accounting, information technology, engineering, and education. The SMFI scholar will also enjoy full tuition, monthly allowance and even part-time job opportunities, and exclusive job offers with the SM group upon graduation.

The scholarship program is open to all Grade 12 graduates from public and private schools in the areas covered. Applicants from private schools must have a DepEd voucher and must be Grade 10 finishers from public high schools. The applicant must have a general weighted average grade of at least 92 percent or its equivalent for Grade 12 - first semester, and must have a total household income of at most P250,000 per year.

Online application period is from February 1 to March 30, 2023. Visit www.sm-foundation.org to apply. (PR)
