“I hope that through this assistance, we get to help you in fulfilling your dreams. I also trust that you will use the money wisely towards where it is intended, your education,” the solon said.

It was learned that 10 scholars were selected from all of the 951 barangays of the province. Also, all of the board members of the province have their own scholars.

The educational assistance program in the province started way back during the time of the later governor Mila Tan but was continued by her daughter Gov. Sharee Ann Tan.
