Together with its subsidiaries— NLEX Corp., MPT South, and Cebu Cordova Link Expressway Corp.— and in partnership with 14 universities, the program aims to provide educational assistance to students from low-income households.
The scholarship grant will provide full tuition, monthly allowance, and miscellaneous benefits for other expenses. Aside from the monetary component, scholars can enjoy internship, board review and exam fees, and job opportunities in the MPTC group upon graduation.
