​“I am fortunate to be given an opportunity to pursue my studies as well as my ambition and to be productive citizen of our nation someday and also to be of help to others. I’m now working as a nurse at the Philippine Heart Center.”

- Irene Apolinar - Yapak Scholarship Graduate

What sets Yapak apart from other scholarship programs?
TATAK YAPAK: YAPAK scholars pay it forward by volunteering as scholar-tutors through 2KK’s KAPATID Tutorial and Values Formation Program. The scholars themselves become teachers to their peers.

YAPAKapamilya: The YAPAK Core Team, through 2KK’s KAPATID, works closely with our Community Parent Partners in order to work together for the betterment of the scholar. This also allows us to check that the scholars are fulfilling their requirements (i.e. minimum average of 80%).

Sounds good!
​But where does my donation really go?
100% of the sponsorship money goes to the YAPAK scholar under the management of his or her parent/guardian and monitored by YAPAK’s Core Team.
​
The funds received by the students are used for tuition (college) and other expenses including: miscellaneous fees charged by the school, books, materials, research expenses, school uniforms and living allowance.
