The SM Foundation Scholarship Program officially welcomed a new batch of college scholars from Pampanga and Clark during a contract signing ceremony held on October 7, 2024, at SM City Pampanga. The event was a significant milestone for over 30 aspiring students, who were accompanied by their proud parents as they participated in the orientation, awarding, and contract signing at the mall’s training room.
These scholars, who come from various schools across Pampanga and Clark, represent the latest group of talented individuals selected for the prestigious scholarship program for School Year 2024-2025. As they embark on their college journey, the scholars will face a rigorous academic path, but with the support of the SM Foundation, they are better equipped to overcome the challenges ahead.
The SM Foundation Scholarship not only provides financial assistance to deserving students but also offers access to opportunities that foster academic excellence and personal development. With the guidance and support of the foundation, these scholars are set to make a lasting impact in their chosen fields, embodying the values of hard work, perseverance, and community service that the SM Foundation promotes
Building on this vision, Scholarship Program Senior Assistant Vice President Eleanor Lansang detailed the foundation’s support offered to scholars. Beyond covering full-tuition fees, the program ensures a comprehensive approach to student development.
Scholars will also benefit from enrichment activities, part-time job opportunities, and internships within the SM Group, all designed to foster both personal and professional growth, creating a clear pathway from education to fulfilling careers.
