“Night” or “Day”

To give you a better understanding of what providing FULL scholarship to a potential high school student entails, click the image below to see a full view comparison table of how much the estimated cost will be between the "night" school program and the regular "day" school.

Figures noted with * symbol means the information came directly from SDA Administration while figures noted with *** symbol means it’s only an approximation of the cost.With these estimated annual figures in mind (which I think is not too far from the actual, notwithstanding the inflation and all that jazz)...,

...do you think we are capable of pulling this off until the student graduate from High School?

This is a four or five-year commitment from all of us, depending on which option we choose. We haven’t really discussed about the idea of continuing it thru college but it’s something to keep in mind if we want the scholar(s) to pursue under the same sponsorships...ours.

Now, if we push through with this scholarship plan, I propose an initial funding (covering at least the first 2 years of school) already deposited into our bank account prior to the start of the intended school year. In other words, if we go the “night” route, I propose at least Php70K per student readily available by early next year. Similarly, if we choose to do the “day” route, Php120K is the minimum initial funding allocation per student.

What do you think?

We are looking to get this proposed scholarship program implemented starting next school year (2010-11). However, without your approval and of course financial support, this project is not going to materialize.

….and so I beg you...literally and figuratively! :-)

It is very important that we hear from you and share your cash, dinero, moolah, etc...oh yeah! I’m sure you’ve got comments, thoughts, ideas, questions too... whatever. :-) Post them here, even anonymously if you are shy about it. Just make sure you stick with the topic at hand and keeping it clean… or I’ll hunt you down with a vengeance. hehehe

Seriously, you may have some issues or even grievances or complaints...or you’re not happy about any aspects of our association. Don’t just keep it to yourself or to your few close selected classmates hoping they’ll sympathize with you and it gets resolve by itself. We can talk about all that with an open mind. Email me if you prefer...please Luis?

Thanks and hope to hear from all of you...soon!
