the Metrobank Foundation recently

college scholarship program with the
leading academic institutions in
selected provinces across the
country.

signed a MOA each on separate
occasions.

ACCESS is a four-year scholarship
program for incoming freshmen or
sophomore college students taking up
an Engineering, Science or Business
course. ACCESS scholars are given a
100% subsidy for tuition and
miscellaneous fees as well as
semestral allowance. While ETP is a
two year program fro incoming junior
students majoring in Education.
Scholars receive a fixed subsidy
under this program.
Since 1995, the Foundation has
already granted 800 scholarships to
poor but academically qualified and
through these MOA signings, the
Foundation was able to formalize its
partnership with notable provincial
schools.
