Provide SSC scholarships through SSRDF

NEWS

Former Scholar to sponsor two more scholarships. Fe Perez-Agudo, ’83 graduate and an SSRDF scholar during her college years, has informed the school that she is sponsoring two additional scholarships starting the coming schoolyear 2010-2011. This year she started to sponsor a scholar taking up accounting. The new grants can be for any degree course.

Alumnae Day 2010 brought donations to the SSRDF from AB’60, celebrating their golden jubilee of graduation from college, and HS ’47.

Former scholar donates scholarship. Ma. Fe Perez, now Mrs. Agudo, was a BSC graduate of 1983. Ma. Fe is now the president and chief executive officer of the Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. Lately, Ms. Agudo visited SSC, met with the Grants Officer and indicated that she wanted to donate a scholarship for a student in accounting –
a way of helping some student as she had been helped a number of years ago. Beautiful gesture!

     "Many years ago I studied at SSC
     as a scholar. I would not have
     been able to do that without a
     scholarship. Now that I have been
     blessed with success in my
     profession, I would like to extend
     a similar help for someone who
     might not be able to come to
     SSC without financial help.

SSRDF scholars obtain bachelor’s degrees. On March 22, 2009, Ten (10) SSRDF grantees successfully finished their college studies and obtained their respective degrees, 3 with honors.

Former classmates and schoolmates set up memorial scholarship fund for Marilyn Bengzon-St. Pierre. Fellow Scholasticans now residing in Toronto recently established the Marilyn Bengzon-St. Pierre Memorial Scholarship with the SSRDF for their friend who had succumbed to a fatal sickness.

Zennie Lat Bernardo visited and brought an additional donation to the fund in the name of the Scholastican alumnae of the Canada chapter of the alumnae association.

Additional donations were sent in by former pupils of Sister Simeona Ricalde and Mrs. Gloria Aspillera Quintos to the respective commemorative scholarship funds. Similarly, in remembrance of Sister Mary Sylvester Marpa from a former pupil.

A good friend added to the scholarship fund remembering Ma. Corazon Sta. Romana.

For the second consecutive year, the Foundation received a generous donation from an anonymous donor. Again, greatly appreciated.

Alumnae Homecoming 2009 brought donations from Emerald jubilarians and Sapphire jubilarians which put up their respective scholarship funds.

SSAA in the US West Coast hosted a reunion of alumnae in Las Vegas early July 2009, and sent a donation for
the SSAA 2009 Reunion Scholarship Fund.

The 2009 list of college graduates included 10 SSRDF-sponsored scholars. Among them were three (3) who
graduated with honors: 1 magna cum laude, 1 cum laude, and 1 with distinction.
