The six College ’82 scholarships are for financially needy and deserving students. Four scholarships will follow different guidelines given by their respective donors and the other two are specifically for BS ME students.
Batch ’82 celebrated its Ruby Jubilee last December. They raised these funds in support of the Ateneo College Scholarship (ACS) Program.
