Selecting Scholars

The process of selecting scholars begins with a preliminary interview, here done by secretary Rose Ladica with Ella Mae Nieri.

The family of the applicant and other members of the family are also interviewed in their own homes. Here, Jasmin Piquero jots down her impressions.

After the interviews, the applicants take a competitive qualifying exam. Here, Loreta Rafisura watches the first applicants in year 2000.

Benefits to Scholars

Scholars are given first priority in SHAPII activity: Here, they learn Introduction to Microsoft Word and Excel for 36 hours at SHAPII Foundation. They use the 16 computer sets donated by Vivien Caroll of Australia through Swinburne University and TESDA-Region 10.

As SHAPII Foundation starts to have the Reading Center, the scholars and the community can have access to free reading at minimal rates. Contemporary books and magazines are donated by civic spirited people.
