To celebrate its 50th anniversary, PHINMA launched The PHINMA National Scholarship (PNS) in 2006. In line with its mission of making lives better through education and nation building, the program’s goal is to produce not just professionals but leaders for the next generation. Through formation and social development, the program aims to help the PNS Scholars become socially engaged individuals who will contribute to the Philippines’ economic and social development.
Now on its 15th year, the program consists of 190 graduates in the fields of education, accountancy and engineering.
The PHINMA National Scholarship is a full scholarship and leadership development program for college students. The program consists of three components:
