Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Seven (7) worthy students received scholarships through the Palm Concepcion Power Corporation (PCPC) Bright Scholarship Program, thus, bringing the total number of scholars supported to thirteen (13)!

The new scholars are Keith Hae Moon Francisco, BS Education Major in Social Studies at West Visayas State University (WVSU); Marnelle Angeline Deysolong, BS Biology at Iloilo Science and Technology University (ISAT-U); Shane Justin Liao, BS Nursing at Phinma University of Iloilo (UI); Marianne Kate Locson, BS Social Work at Central Philippine University (CPU); Jewel Heart Azuelo, BS Medical Laboratory Science at Iloilo Doctors College (IDC); Paulette Torrico, BS Accountancy at CPU; and Peter John Cezar, BS Biology at Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) Main Estancia.

Aside from free tuition and miscellaneous fees, they will also receive comprehensive support — monthly allowances, academic excellence incentives, and mentoring program.

Highlighting the program’s success, two out of the three scholars from PCPC graduated magna cum laude. Leading their batch in the 2023 academic year, the latest graduates are Pamela Manderico, BS Early Childhood Education from WVSU; Regine Ann Donesa, BS Accountancy, from CPU; and Reah Jane Solaber, BS Accountancy from Phinma UI. 

The program started in 2016. Since then, ten (10) scholars have already graduated. Partnering with Joy~Nostalg Foundation, PCPC’s Bright Scholarship Program aims to further the mission of helping children of low-income families to pursue their college education, especially those from its host communities in Iloilo.
