Investing in tomorrow: SM Group elevates Scholarship Program with holistic approach
The SM Foundation, the social good arm of the SM Group, is ramping up its scholarship program by prioritizing a well-rounded student experience for its scholars.
This renewed focus goes beyond financial aid, aiming to nurture well-adjusted and successful graduates.
The foundation, in partnership with SM Retail and SM Supermalls, recently held a general assembly at SM City Clark for SM Scholars from Central Luzon—from Bulacan, Pampanga, Pangasinan to Cabanatuan, Tarlac, Bataan, and Zambales.

SM scholars are offered internship possibilities to immerse themselves in the corporate world, honing their skills and gaining firsthand experience.
The immersion in the professional world is designed to arm scholars with practical skills and pave the way for a promising career and journey upon graduation.
The SM Scholarship Program has a long history of supporting deserving students from underprivileged backgrounds. This emphasis on a holistic student experience underscores the foundation's commitment to nurturing the next generation of Filipino leaders.
Adding to the inspirational atmosphere of the General Assembly were successful alumni like Quenie Anne Alfonso, now an SM employee, and educator Prince Mangahas.
