Januarius Holdings Inc sets up endowment for the Education of Public School Teachers
A memorandum of agreement was signed by Mr. Januario Jesus Gregorio B. Atencio III, Chairman and CEO, Januarius Holdings Inc, and University President Jose Ramon T. Villarin SJ, to establish the “Dra Rosario Bustos Atencio Scholarship Fund for the Education of Public School Teachers,” an endowment for teacher development in the Ateneo de Manila University, starting in School Year 2018-2019. The agreement was signed at the Boardroom, 2F Xavier Hall, Ateneo Loyola Heights main campus, on May 7, 2018.
The earnings of the Atencio endowment for teacher training are earmarked for scholarship awards for undergraduate and/or graduate students who intend to teach in public schools and are in great need of financial assistance to complete an education course in the Ateneo Science and Art of Learning and Teaching (SALT) Institute and the different schools and departments of the Ateneo de Manila University that offer teacher education. The scholarship for Atencio Teacher Scholars shall fully or partially cover tuition and fees, dorm rental, meals, school supplies, and other expenses normally encountered by scholars.
Providing scholarships opens an entire future for our less fortunate but nonetheless talented young Filipinos. Scholars will be given the opening they need to lead meaningful lives in the love and service of others.
In attendance at the MOA signing on May 7, 2018 with Mr. Atencio and University President were Maria Luz C Vilches PhD, Vice President for the Loyola Schools; Fernando T. Aldaba PhD, Dean for the School of Social Sciences; Cornelia C. Soto PhD, Chair of the Department of Education; Rica Bolipata Santos PhD, Director for the University Communication and Public Relations Office; and Fr Johnny C. Go SJ EdD, Director of the Ateneo Science and Art of Learning and Teaching (SALT) Institute.
