The Gregorio P. Uy & Lee Peng Scholarship Foundation (GPULP) is proud to announce its newest batch of scholars. This year's batch will receive full financial assistance and other support till graduation and taking their licensure exams.
"From the original 18 scholars, we have expanded the list to 24 new scholars since more applicants have qualified at this time. It is our ardent hope that they will use this opportunity to forge their path to success and someday pay it forward. We are truly excited to embark on this journey with our scholars and their families and to witness the great things they will do for society," said GPULP VP Michael Uy.

The foundation is not just supporting the scholars, their parents will also be given life skills training monthly. This way, the assistance is inclusive and sustainable for the entire family.
GPULP Scholarship Foundation has been extending grants to excellent yet underprivileged students in Isabel and Cagayan. Founded by brothers Gregorio Uy, Jr. and Samuel Uy, the foundation was named after their parents- Gregorio P. Uy and Lee Peng.
To date, the Foundation has a record of 100% passing rate in the Licensure Examination for Teachers, Civil Engineers Licensure Examination, and Agriculturist Licensure Examination among its scholars. Its Accountancy graduates have a 96% passing rate record, while its Agricultural Engineering graduates are at 91%.
From the previous batch of scholars, two were regional top-notchers in their respective Board Exams back in 2018. There's also a high employability rate among the graduates, hence, the continued success of the scholarship foundation.
"This scholarship does not only help us financially but also supports us morally for us to really achieve our dreams. The monthly sessions taught us the value of discipline and motivated us to strive for excellence," said Alumnus Philip Salvador during the "LF: Scholar" Awarding Ceremony. Salvador is now a CPA working for The Salvation Army Social Services Inc. "To our dear scholars, the road ahead of you is still long so don't let the gas run out- your passion and fire in whatever you do. Yes, it will be hard, but it will be worth it. I would like to thank the humble benefactors of the GPULPSF. Thank you for your generosity and support to us."
