Senior High School - Collegiate Educational Assistance Program (SHS - CEAP)

MAFI’s pivot of its scholarship program to pilot-test senor high school (SHS) education in 2017, as a springboard to college education support, was named as “Senior High School to College Education Assistance Project (SHS-CEAP). The scheme adopted was in conformity with the Department of Education’s (DepEd) K-12 curriculum, to allow opportunity for this transition to both the academic community and the students themselves in order to reduce the impact of K-12 on MAFI’s college-based scholarship. The two-year SHS phase aims to prepare SHS beneficiaries by allowing them to situate their interests, hone themselves through their chosen tracks and strands, and providing them better preparation for college education.
