The LEAP Scholarship Engine

LEAP is built for academically qualified but financially challenged youth in the Philippines, students whose grades open doors their family budgets cannot. Each scholar receives full or partial college tuition, a textbook allowance, and one-on-one mentorship from alumni and volunteers who guide them from their first semester to graduation day.

  • Academic standing: a strong general weighted average and a record of consistent effort in senior high school or college.

  • Financial necessity: a household income below the foundation's need baseline, verified through family documentation.

  • Community involvement: active participation in church, barangay, school, or volunteer service, and a commitment to give back.

  • Residency: priority for youth from Loakan and the communities surrounding the Philippine Military Academy.
