Empowering dreams and building futures, one scholar at a time
The GPULP Scholarship Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of Century Ventures Diesel Parts and Supplies Corporation and Ford Tractor Philippines Inc., respectively owned by brothers Gregorio Uy Jr. and Samuel Uy. It was named after their parents Gregorio P. Uy and Lee Peng, whose legacy of kindness and dedication to education drives the Foundation’s goal.
Started in 2011 as a grant offer to more than 30 students of the ISU as a way of giving back to their settlement community, it has since grown into a thriving foundation helping students achieve their dreams. To date, the GPULP Scholarship Foundation has over 140 scholars in the different ISU campuses as well as in Cagayan State University. Of this number, 89 have already graduated, with a 100% rate of employability.
Scholars are encouraged to pay it forward by serving their respective communities using the education they gained, simply to create a ripple effect of positivity in society.
