Abanse Negrense Scholarship

Abanse Negrense, a seven-point development agenda of Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson, highlights education as one of its priorities. In keeping with this vision, the office of the Governor announces its partnership with Mapúa Malayan Digital College (MMDC) with the Abanse Negrense IT Scholarship.

The scholarship provides deserving students from Negros Occidental (except Bacolod City) with a partial scholarship for a three years and six months college education at Mapúa Malayan Digital College (MMDC). Scholars can choose from innovative, career-focused programs designed to prepare them for high-demand industries of the future.


Each scholar will receive ₱15,000 per term for the duration of their three years and six months stay at MMDC, which will be applied toward matriculation fees.


Note: Any matriculation fees exceeding the scholarship amount will be covered by the student.


*Other fees are not covered by the scholarship
