On April 6, 2017, 12 TYK-STA scholars stood out and were awarded for their dedication and exemplary academic performance during the 60th Commencement Exercises for Junior High School of the Saint Teresita’s Academy (STA) in Aritao, Nueva Vicaya.
At the graduation ceremony, proud parents held their heads high as they joined their children onstage in receiving their awards. These students belonged to the first batch of farmers’ children who received Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. scholarships for the school year 2016-2017. TYKFI carefully selected these students to attend a private Catholic school under a pilot partnership project which aimed to uplift the lives of farmers’ families.
For the Outstanding Junior High School Students in the Science Curriculum award, Grade 7 – St. Cecilia’s Maribeth A. Moran ranked first place, making her the lone Science Curriculum TYK-STA scholar honor awardee.
