You can also participate during PAMANA events, where we typically allot a portion of funds raised towards the Scholarship Fund.

History of the Scholarship Program

The Scholarship Program was initiated by PAMANA Board member Jun Gonzales in 2011.

By 2012, an ad hoc committee was formed to develop the guidelines, and the concept was launched during the 2012 Kasuotang Pilipino Scholarship Benefit Show. By 2013, the PAMANA Executive Board approved the guidelines and the following year a Scholarship Review Committee was formed.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 15th of each scholarship award period
