IN MUNTINLUPA, graduating honor students are not only conferred with medals and ribbons, but also rewarded with cash incentives.
The city government of Muntinlupa, through Muntinlupa Scholarship Program, rewards top academic students with financial assistance amounting from P3,000 to P10,000 in recognition of their outstanding performance.
Honor students from elementary level receiveP5,000 for Top 1-3, P4,000 for Top 4-6, and P3,000 for Top 7-10. Honor students from secondary level receive: P10,000 for Top 1-3, P7,000 for Top 4-6, and P5,000 for Top 7-10.
Mayor Jaime Fresnedi awarded the cash incentives to Top 10 students in Public Elementary and High School during its Graduation rites from April 6 to 8.
The mayor hoped the incentive would encourage other students to also give their best in academics.
“With your hard work being rewarded, continue to dream big as your achievement is your parents’ achievements as well,” Fresnedi added.
The Fresnedi administration puts prime importance in the education of Muntinlupa residents throughits inclusive and comprehensive scholarship program for all students,not only those who excel academically but all who desire to study, particularly the poor.
