Twenty young souls have been given the wings to fly, thanks to a heartening scholarship initiative from Subic EnerZone Corporation (SEZ) and the Aboitiz Foundation Inc. Within the heart of Subic Bay Freeport, the jubilant turnover ceremony unfolded, where seeds of hope and education were sown.
Planting Seeds of Hope
The fortunate recipients included bright minds from Regional Science High School III, Tapinac Senior High School, St. Joseph High School, Columban College, and Sta. Rita High School. With the financial assistance they received, their future paths are now less burdened, enabling dreams to grow and aspirations to soar.
Building Bridges through Education
Justin Jay Navarro, the deputy COO of the EnerZone Group, proudly announced that this initiative’s roots trace back 15 years. Since 2010, SEZ has fervently believed in uplifting community education and empowering Grade 11 and 12 students to reach their potential. According to Daily Tribune, this is just another step in SEZ’s longstanding commitment to community development.
Unlocking Opportunities in Engineering
Jake Rallos, a talent attraction and retention specialist, provided an exciting twist to the narrative. Not only is there the initial aid, but a pathway into Electrical Engineering studies is made available through SEZ’s partner universities in Luzon. Remarkably, the scholarship’s promise doesn’t end at graduation; it extends further with the chance to work within the energy sector.
A Vision for the Future
This initiative by SEZ and Aboitiz is a testament to believing in tomorrow’s leaders today. The 20 scholars now hold the keys to knowledge, with doors wide open to promising careers and meaningful contributions to society. The ripple effect of this financial aid may well extend beyond personal success stories to enhance the broader community.
Taking Steps Towards Endless Possibilities
In essence, these scholarships do more than provide financial aid. They symbolize trust in potential and investment in standing on the shoulders of educational giants. As these young scholars embark on their educational journeys, they carry the hopes of those who dared to believe in their dreams.
In lighting their path, SEZ and Aboitiz instill a burning light, casting a hopeful glow across generations to come.
