Vicsal scholarship empowers future leaders
VICSAL Foundation Inc. (VSF), the philanthropic arm of Vicsal Development Corp., has been providing vital support to financially challenged yet deserving students through its scholarship program.
Established in 2007, the program has provided significant assistance to over 260 graduates, facilitating access to education for aspiring scholars in the region.
Faith Baba, a graduate of the program and now employed as a financial analyst at Metro Retail Stores Group, said VSF was a helping guide in finishing scholars’ education.
“It lifted the weight of financial worries. VSF enabled me to pursue my dream degree and embark on my career path by providing me the support I needed to focus on academic excellence without the burden of expenses,” she shared.
Marco Romano Corpus, another graduate of the program who is currently excelling at Taft Properties under the umbrella of the foundation, attested to the influence of the scholarship on his personal development.
“As a VSF scholarship recipient, I feel a deep sense of recognition for my efforts and achievements. This acknowledgment has boosted my confidence and motivation, driving me to excel academically and actively contribute to my chosen field,” Corpus said.
Beyond financial assistance, the VSF scholarship program provides scholars with a supportive community and valuable resources to thrive academically and professionally.
According to scholar-graduate Florence Marie Aton, now a reports specialist for store operations at Metro Retail Stores Group, the program’s comprehensive support enabled scholars to pursue their career aspirations with confidence.
“Joining Metro Retail Stores Group was a direct result of the support provided by VSF Foundation. Even before graduation, the company extended job offers to scholar graduates, including myself. VSF shaped my career path and influenced my professional journey in profound ways,” she said.
Similarly, Jenevive Comaingking, a scholar-graduate and now a finance and accounting manager in a multinational company in Manila, underscored the community and opportunities provided by the VSF scholarship program.
“VSF was the beacon of hope that illuminated my path to success. It provided not only financial support but also invaluable opportunities for personal and professional growth,” she reflected.
“Through VSF, I found a supportive community and gained experiences that shaped me into the person I am today. Participating in the foundation’s community outreach programs and environmental movements allowed me to see the power of giving back and inspired me to strive for excellence in all aspects of my life,” Comaingking said.
These stories highlight the significant impact of corporate-sponsored scholarships, such as the VSF program, in empowering individuals to pursue their goals, overcome obstacles, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
By investing in education, businesses not only support aspiring scholars but also contribute to the development of a skilled and innovative workforce vital for societal progress and economic growth.
As the VSF program continues its work, it remains dedicated to creating opportunities for future generations of students.
