THE TARLAC State University partnered with the non-government organization Aslag Ning Pag-asa Tarlak Inc. for student scholarships.

The partnership is made possible through the TSU Scholarship and Financial Assistance Unit.

Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Agnes M. Macaraeg thanked the NGO for giving hope and serving as “angels in disguise” to the students.

“This scholarship would mean a lot to the students and their parents because, after their education, they could do more to help other people,” Macaraeg said.

TSU President Dr. Arnold Velasco also thanked the NGO for their initiative to assist the students in need.

“You can expect that more blessings will be coming to you from God dahil bukal po sa puso ninyo ang pagtulong sa mga estudyante,” Velasco said.

Through the partnership, each student will receive P16,000 of financial assistance per semester under the Aslag Ning Pag-asa Tarlak scholarship program.

The beneficiaries of the scholarship grant are fourth-year student Shiela Ayyen S. Lacuata from the College of Science and first-year student Lanie L. Anabo from the College of Education.

Aslag Ning Pag-asa Tarlak Inc. is a non-governmental organization focused on development work inspired by Atty. Leni Robredo’s Angat Buhay Foundation.

The NGO is composed of volunteers from different professions united by a common goal to help people from the marginalized sector and improve the lives of Tarlaqueños.
