Education Scholarship Program (ESP)

Introduction

LifeBank Foundation Inc. Education Scholarship Program (ESP) aims to provide livelihood skills (bachelor or vocational degree) to deserving dependents of Ikabuhi Microfinance Program (IMP) clients; the program financially supports IMP members for their children’s education. This program can help qualified scholars to acquire good academic preparation, self-development, and broad career opportunities. Soon, qualified scholars can improve their family’s economic and financial status.

The program started in June 2013 in Luzon, having 65 initial scholars in Bulacan State University (BuLSU) and Bulacan  Polytechnic College.
