iACADEMY and BingoPlus Foundation are expanding their collaboration with a P17.5 million scholarship fund for students studying technology in SY 2024–2025.
Interactive and Chairman of BingoPlus Foundation, Celeste Jovenir, VP for Investor Relations, Corporate
Communications, and Sustainability and COO of BingoPlus Foundation, and Angela Camins-Wieneke,
Executive Director, BingoPlus Foundation.
With this new relationship, BingoPlus Foundation will have invested roughly 300% more in IT education than it did with the P6 million donation it first gave to iACADEMY in 2022. This program, which is the social development branch of the well-known digital entertainment corporation Digiplus Interactive, gives young Filipinos greater chances to grow into the nation’s future technological leaders.
“Our continued partnership with iACADEMY signifies our support in addressing the gap to good quality education. We are happy to contribute in harnessing the potential of our young tech talents through our FutureSmart Scholarship Program,” said Andy Tsui, Digiplus President and Bingoplus Foundation Chairman.
In addition to the scholarship grant, scholars will have access to a comprehensive personal development program called the PLUS Factor. This program is designed to cultivate the right mindset, promote overall well-being, and provide scholars with the necessary tools for success in their future careers.
“We are grateful for the generosity of BingoPlus Foundation and are thrilled to have a continuing partnership with an organization that shares the same advocacy of providing accessible, quality education for future game changers,” said Dr. Vanessa Tanco, President and CEO of iACADEMY. “This collaboration exemplifies our shared commitment to empowering students and preparing them for success in the digital age. With BingoPlus Foundation’s support, we look forward to nurturing the next generation of innovators and leaders in technology, and arts & design.”
Interested students may send their scholarship applications through bit.ly/FutureSmartScholarship until June 15, 2024.
