This is a unique and inclusive initiative designed to provide financial support and educational opportunities to students based on their economic status and their affiliation with a parish community. It aims to ensure that deserving students have access to quality education and the opportunity to contribute to both their personal growth and their communities. The number of slots is equivalent to the number of offices. If any office requires additional student assistants, they must submit a formal letter of request to the chairman of the scholarship committee, providing justifications.
