Pagpupugay Scholarship

At BPI, through BPI Foundation (BPIF), we recognize the great contributions of our medical front liners in the fight against COVID-19. To honor their heroic efforts, BPIF offers PAGPUPUGAY, a scholarship program to support the next of kin of the medical front liners who passed away or were infected by the coronavirus.

Since the program's inception in 2020, BPIF has been able to provide educational assistance to fifteen (15) collegiate students, with scholarships being reviewed for renewal on an annual basis. For the Academic Year 2022 – 2023, BPIF will open applications for eight (8) new students.

Each scholar will receive a scholarship grant of up to Php 100,000.00 every academic year to help pay tuition and other incidental expenses given directly to BPIF's partner institution. The financial aid shall only pay school expenses for the ordinary school year or term and shall not, under any circumstances, reimburse school fees originating from or connected to the summer term, unless the summer term is required by the course curriculum. For scholars from state universities and colleges, the financial assistance will cover monthly living subsidy and learning assistance allowance.

• Qualified next of kin of the following medical front liners who passed away or those who contracted COVID-19 in the line of duty:

1. Doctors
2. Nurses
3. Medical technologists
4. Community health workers
5. Administrative, utility, and support services personnel in health care facilities 

If the deceased is married, priority beneficiaries will be the children. If single, beneficiaries can be next of kin up to 3rd degree of consanguinity.

• Applicants should be college/university students (1st year-4th year/5th year) of BPIF’s partner schools.
• To qualify, eligible students must have and maintain a General Weighted Average (GWA) of 85% or its equivalent, or meet University standards for the previous academic year (for incoming 1st year) or for the previous semester (for incoming 2nd year-5th year).
  
  Interested and eligible students may apply through our partner schools. See list below. If your school is not included in the list, please coordinate directly with BPI Foundation through bpifoundation@bpi.com.ph
  
  Partner schools will screen the applications and will submit a short-list of three (3) nominees to BPIF. Successful applicants will be selected from the list of nominees through an evaluation of their academic excellence and financial need. Selected scholars will be notified by BPIF of their acceptance to the program through their schools and electronic mail indicated in the application form.
