INVESTING IN THE FUTURE: The Scholarship Advocacy of the Notre Dame Schools of General Santos City Alumni Association International Inc. 
At the heart of our alumni association is a deep commitment to transforming lives through the power of education. We believe that by supporting deserving students today, we are paving the way for a brighter, more empowered tomorrow.
Our Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) underscores this long-term vision: once our scholars graduate, they are expected to return and hone their professional skills at Notre Dame of Dadiangas University (NDDU), giving back to the very institution that nurtured them.
Here is a look at how our collective advocacy has grown over the years:
Our Journey of Giving
2023 | Abante Lumad Scholarship Fund
Our full-time scholarship advocacy officially kicked off during the launching of Bro. Willy Lubrico’s book. Through the incredible generosity of our community, we raised ₱200,000.00 to establish this fund, dedicated to supporting our indigenous student community.
2023 | Pilar Palacios-Pe Scholarship
In partnership with the loving Palacios Family, we launched this specialized scholarship and turned over ₱300,000.00 to NDDU. This fund completely covers a 4-year course in Early Childhood Education. We are proud to share that we have an active, existing scholar pursuing their dreams right now!
2025 | Batch 71 Partnership Scholarship
Moving forward with a shared vision, we partnered with Batch ’71 to turn over ₱400,000.00 to NDDU under the Pilar Palacios-Pe Scholarship. This grant will fund another full 4-year Early Childhood Education degree.
2026 | Alvin and Prima Hower Scholarship
Our newest advocacy milestone! Newly launched this year, an initial turnover of ₱56,890.00 has been presented to NDDU. Alvin and Prima have generously committed to sponsoring a student through a full 4-year course in Special Education (SPED).
What’s Next? We are thrilled to announce that the 2025 (Batch 71) and 2026 (Alvin/Prima Hower) scholarships are both actively moving forward! Our committee will be thoroughly vetting and screening possible candidate scholars for both slots during the first week of July.
Build a Legacy: Set Up a Scholarship Family Fund
The association warmly welcomes and encourages families, batches, or individuals who wish to establish their own legacy scholarships. Whether you want to honor a loved one or give back to a specific field, the Alumni Association will be more than happy to guide and assist you through the entire setup process.
Our structural partnerships mean these life-changing scholarships can be made available at both:
Notre Dame of Dadiangas University (NDDU)
Notre Dame Sienna College
