SM Foundation has officially opened the online registration for its College Scholarship Program from February 1-28, 2026, extending greater educational opportunities to deserving senior high school graduates across the Philippines, including Zamboanga City, with the continued support of SM malls in Zamboanga.
The SM College Scholarship Program offers full college scholarships to qualified public high school graduates, covering tuition fees, as well as a monthly allowance to help with daily school expenses. The program aims to empower academically driven but financially challenged students to pursue higher education and build brighter futures.
Through SM City Mindpro and SM City Zamboanga, SM Foundation strengthens its reach in Mindanao by promoting access to education as a key pillar of inclusive growth. Scholars are also provided with values formation, leadership development, and volunteer engagement opportunities that help mold them into responsible professionals and community leaders.
“Education has always been at the heart of nation-building,” said Aileen Ann Villa-Enriquez, Mall Manager of SM City Mindpro. “Through the SM Foundation Scholarship Program, we are proud to help open doors for young ZamboangueƱos so they can achieve their dreams and, in turn, uplift their families and communities.”
Over the years, SM Foundation produced over 8,000 scholar graduates and are now thriving in various professions, becoming living proof of how education can transform lives.
Eligible applicants from Zamboanga City and in the region may now apply via the official SM Foundation website. The fully online application process makes it easier and more accessible for students from both urban and far-flung areas to submit their requirements.
As registration opens this month, SM Foundation and SM malls in Zamboanga encourage qualified students to take this important step toward a better future, reaffirming their shared commitment to empowering the youth through education.
