BingoPlus Foundation, iACADEMY in search for 10 scholarship grantees and here’s how you can apply

“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” This quote from Malcolm X is one of my favorites when it comes to education. It speaks volume of how education plays a vital role in our future and just like getting physical passports, education also requires enough finances. Luckily, foundations like BingoPlus – one of the country’s live streaming and bingo game operators, in partnership with iACADEMY, are now offering scholarships to help those who are financially challenged. As of this writing, they have yet to select 10 deserving college students who will be granted full college scholarships through the FutureSmart Scholarship Program.
BingoPlus Foundation is an active supporter of environmental and charitable projects and their scholarship grant is just one of the many ways that they’re giving back to the country for the success that they have been receiving. This year’s grant is just the first out of the many programs under their three-year partnership with iACADEMY. A scholarship at iACADEMY is also no small feat as the school has been recognized as one of the most sought-after institutions in the field of design and technology. Their tuition fee is also as premium as their curriculum!
IS IT WORTH IT?
Having been able to witness a relative and a close friend’s educational journey within iACADEMY, I can say that it’s definitely worth it – especially if you’re a scholar. Not a lot of institutions in the Philippines offer topnotch game or software engineering courses at affordable prices. iACADEMY specializes in design and technology-related programs and they have already been recognized numerous times for it.
iACADEMY is also at a very accessible location in Metro Manila, right at the heart of Makati City. Definitely a safe space for students.
