Scholarship Program

for Buyong Students

The Buyong Support Program has been closely involved with the Buyong Elementary School and teachers since 1984. Many deserving sixth grade graduates whose families were unable to send them to high school have been able to continue their education thanks to sponsorship.  Individuals and the students from the Philippine Relief Organization at the American School in Japan have sponsored 64 students in high school and 32 in college scholarships. A remarkable number from a small village!
