MMDC Sidlak Scholarship

As an academic institution anchored on excellence, collaboration, and purpose, MMDC hopes to cultivate the youth’s passion for learning and service. In line with its core vision of delivering Better Experiences, Better Lives, and Better Country, MMDC is proud to announce the launch of its Sidlak Scholarship. The scholarship aims to reward deserving youth in Bacolod City and its surrounding areas with the opportunity to prepare for the future through quality education.

Coined from the Hiligyanon term meaning brilliance and brightness, this academic grant will provide tuition assistance for qualified Bacolod City youth that display excellence in education and civic engagement.

All graduating Grade 12 students or high school graduates from any CHED-recognized school in Bacolod City and its nearby cities are eligible to send in their applications for the Sidlak Scholarship.
