SPES: The San Isidro Scholarship System

This is how we have reformed scholarships in our town. Traditionally, politicians would give 1,000 to 3,000 pesos in aid per semester. In San Isidro, we used a vehicle provided by the department of labor to create youth leaders. Our measure of our success is in the job placement rate. So far, we have an average of 80% job placement.

SPES, also known as: Special Program for Employment of Students, aim to bring out the best in our youth to enable them to have personal leadership; at the same time have an awareness of their capacity to respond to the needs of their environment.
