BDO Foundation and Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU) have launched a collaborative program aimed at providing educational opportunities for financially disadvantaged students. The newly established BDO Foundation-Ateneo de Davao University Scholarship Program will offer not just financial aid but also mentorship and career development.
A Comprehensive Support System
The initiative targets students from low-income families, ensuring they have access to higher education and the necessary tools for career success. Along with scholarships, participants will receive internships and training that facilitate a smooth transition into the workforce.
Through education, we can help create opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom.
