Meralco, Pasig medical scholarships offered

Meralco president and CEO Atty. Ray Espinosa cited the heroism of healthcare workers and front-liners who have inspired many young Filipinos to pursue medical professions

The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) has partnered with the government of Pasig and the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health (ASMPH) for a program that aims to provide financial support to aspiring doctors from the city.

Under the memorandum of agreement (MoA), five Pasig residents from financially challenged families who intend to pursue a five-year joint degree of Doctor of Medicine and Master of Business Administration at the ASMPH will receive a scholarship grant from One Meralco Foundation (OMF) and the Pasig local government unit (LGU).

OMF, Meralco’s social development arm, will shoulder the scholars’ major expenses such as tuition and miscellaneous fees; while the Pasig LGU will pay their recurring expenses like uniform allowance, food, and transportation subsidies.

Meralco president and CEO Atty. Ray Espinosa cited the “heroism of our healthcare workers and frontliners who have inspired many young Filipinos to pursue medical professions.”

“Through this medical scholarship program, we hope to help deserving young Pasigueños achieve their ambitions while producing more doctors for our country’s needs,” he said.

“We in Meralco are deeply honored to invest in our young people and to contribute to the improvement of public health in Pasig for many years to come,” he concluded.

Interested students may submit their applications until 15 March 2022, and will be given until 16 May to complete their requirements.
