With the help of generous benefactors and partner institutions, PJPS gives scholarships to children of inmates ranging from grade school, high school and technical and/or vocational students (assistance for college level is given on a case to case basis). We provide the following:
- Tuition (Full or Partial)
-
Non-Tuition Expenses (Fees, Uniform, etc.)
- School Supplies, Tools, Equipment, and the like
- Allowances: Transportation, Meals, and Snacks
-
Others:
- Tutorial Services
- Counseling/Monitoring Services
- Facilitation in Obtaining School Discounts, etc.
Since its onset in 1994, sixty (60) beneficiaries have already graduated from various courses in technical/vocational courses and college. Most of them were accepted as scholars as early as grade school and they remained in the program until the completion of their tertiary education. This remains the case today for many of our scholars.
For the Academic School Year 2011-12, PJPS has accepted a total of one hundred twenty (120) scholars. We count on the support of generous individuals who share in our vision of rebuilding the lives of the families of inmates. Together with the help of many young professionals who volunteer to give monthly formation sessions for the scholars and their mothers, we hope to see these underprivileged and deserving children of inmates grow through the years as they transcend their life situation and pursue a respectable career after college.
