About 2

The Ruth Scholarship Foundation was established to offer full and comprehensive support to students who have the potential for service and leadership but may be financially challenged to achieve their goals. The aim of the Foundation is to provide the needed resources and overall support to deserving scholars in the tertiary level and post-graduate degrees, as well as those in the technical and vocational field. The goal is that its scholars, after graduation, may find proper employment and succeed in their respective careers, whereby they may give back to their families and be of service to their communities.

OUR MISSION

The Ruth Scholarship Foundation supports students by providing need-based scholarships to enable them to succeed and give back to their communities.

OUR VISION

The Ruth Scholarship Foundation aims to develop graduates to become competent and committed professionals in their respective fields, who value integrity in practice, and have a heart for community development and leadership. The Ruth Scholarship Foundation is committed to support scholars with careers in industries, professions and trades that are of relevance to society by granting not only financial scholarship but by likewise providing value formation and guidance, and moral support, with the aim that our scholars will be holistically equipped to succeed in their fields of endeavor.

 

Our Values

  • We expect our scholars to acquire and uphold the highest levels of integrity and moral virtues upon which the Foundation is established.

  • We believe that our chosen scholars deserve the opportunity to quality education without discrimination or bias as to social or financial standing, cultural background, and religious or personal beliefs.

  • We believe in providing a model of both success and significance for our scholars, equipping them to become inspirational influencers and leaders.

  • We want to instill in our scholars a sense of responsibility and desire to “pay it forward” to their families and their community through service and active compassion.

  • We believe that it is only through personal and authentic interaction with our scholars, their families, the educational institutions where they study, and the community as whole, that the program could effectively accomplish its mission and objectives.
