Financial institutions extend scholarship grants to PMA, PNPA, PMMA cadets

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 13): Financial institutions extend scholarship grants to PMA, PNPA, PMMA cadets

The Center for Agriculture and Rural Development Mutually Reinforcing Institutions (CARD MRI) announced Saturday the new scholarship grant through CARD Scholarship Program (CSP) for children of CARD MRI clients who will study or studying at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) and Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA) starting this school year.

Dr. Jaime Aristotle B. Alip Ph. D., founder and managing director ofCARD MRI said the scholarship program of the institution prioritized scholars taking up business and communication courses for assured employment to the institutions but this time the program is open to any course a student may take including those who want to serve the military, police and maritime.

To support more CARD members, we are now extending our scholarship grants to those who want to enter PMA, PNPA and PMMA. This is part of our program called “One Family, One Graduate” wherein we want one from every socio-economically challenged family to graduate in college,” said Alip.

“This time there is no limit for the scholars in choosing the course they want. We hope that this will help in decreasing dropout rates here in our country,” he added.

Like other CSP scholars, applicants studying or will study in the three identified schools will receive Php 12,000 per year for a maximum of four years if they will be part of the annual scholarship grantees.

To date, 2,339 have graduated out of 7,549 educational scholarship grantees and after 30 years since it was founded CARD MRI has reached 3,605,929 clients benefiting from its programs and services.
