CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Eleven graduate school students at the Don Honorio Ventura State University in Bacolor town served as the first recipients of the financial assistance program for post-graduate studies launched by 2nd District board member Mylyn Pineda-Cayabyab on Tuesday.
The student beneficiaries are taking up studies in educational management, business administration, and English teaching. The educational 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. Under the program, students from the board member’s political jurisdiction of Santa Rita, Lubao, Sasmuan, Floridablanca, and Porac may avail themselves of the program. Students with satisfactory grades and those coming from indigent families will be given priority in the selection.
“Those taking up their masteral degrees have a lot on their backs. They support their families and relatives. If we can help them in their professional and economic growth, we in turn also help those who depend on these teachers,” Pineda Cayabyab said.
She added that a master’s degree requires a lot of time and effort on the part of a teacher.
DHVSU president Enrique Baking lauded the lady board member 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 during the incumbency of Pineda-Cayabyab as mayor. MPC-Info Group
