Hedcor supports its 27 scholars through college

>> Thursday, July 3, 2014


Hedcor companies in Benguet, Ilocos Sur and Davao continue to sustain 27 college scholars from its host communities for another academic year.

It was an opportunity for Lealyn Villanueva, 16, when she was told that she qualified as Hedcor scholar. “I’m thankful for this life changing opportunity given to me by Hedcor and for that I will do my best in my studies and fulfill my dreams,” Villanueva voiced.

Villanueva is already on her second year as accountancy student in University of the Cordilleras in Baguio City.

“Our scholar’s grades are much higher than the passing mark we require. It is a testament that they are really doing great in their studies,” says community relations officer for Luzon Hydro Corporation, Manny Yapyapan.

Before they became full-pledge Hedcor scholars, they underwent strict screening process based on the company’s given guidelines. Aside from being a resident of Hedcor’s host community, they attained academic excellence upon high school graduation. And lastly, they passed the exam and interview by Hedcor.

At present, Hedcor has 13 scholars coming from its different host communities in Luzon. Fourteen are from the south. 

The grantees were given the freedom to choose what degree to pursue and their full tuition fees are shouldered by Hedcor as well as book and monthly allowances.

Last September 2013, Hedcor added another licensed engineer from its roster of scholars. Registered Electrical Engineer, Miguel Taypoc is an examplar of determination that the young scholars can look up to. Taypoc is already working in Hedcor on its expansion projects

Since the program’s apprehension in 2000, 26 scholars already graduated and are currently working in the country and abroad. Others are also absorbed within Hedcor company.

Aside from the collegiate scholarship program, Hedcor also inspires high school students by giving out stipends to achievers. In order to create an atmosphere conducive to learning, Hedcor also donates school buildings, refurbish classrooms and joins Brigada Eskwela.

As a partner of choice to its host communities, Hedcor gives back by engaging activities focused on education, livelihood, health and environment.
