YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION PROGRAM
We encourage you to support a scholar today and help deserving youths fulfill their dreams of a better life ahead and a stable future.
The AmCham Foundation Scholarship program has supported more than 2,000 scholarship grants including former street children, vocational technology and college students. We supports the underprivileged but deserving youth in various level such as high school, college and vocational courses.
We provide these scholars their tuition fee, school supplies, and subsistence allowance until their on the-job training and we provide them psychosocial interventions.
Today, we have the SC Johnson Adopt-A-Scholar, Emerson Scholarship Program, Ford Scholarship Program and AmCham Scholars.
We encourage you to support a scholar today and help deserving youths fulfill their dreams of a better life ahead and a stable future.
