CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Cash assistance of P5,000 was given to each of 54 graduate school students of the Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) and other state colleges on Monday.
Pampanga 2nd District board member Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab said the assistance aims to help teachers achieve professional growth and economic advancement through the completion of their graduate school degrees.
The program is a partnership with DHVSU which helped facilitate the application of deserving students from the board member’s political jurisdictions of Santa Rita, Lubao, Sasmuan, Floridablanca, and Porac.
Students with satisfactory grades and those coming from indigent families are given priority in the selection.
Starting in 2022, limited slots were given to students from other state universities and colleges under the program.
DHVSU president Enrique Baking lauded Pineda-Cayabyab for her initiative, adding that the university welcomes the support she has extended to its students.
He added that DHVSU has a history of collaborating with the board member, emphasizing her role in the establishment of the DHVSU Satellite Campus in Lubao town when she was still mayor. MPC-IG/PR
