History of the Scholarship ProgramThe 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. |
