Solid partnerships

July 02, 2019

Henry “Tatang” Sy, Sr. ’s vision to educate young Filipinos would have not been possible if not for the strong and enduring partnerships the SM Scholarship Foundation, Inc. has made with various educational institutions through the years.

One of them is the 119-year old National University in Sampaloc, Manila. It is considered as the country’s first private non-sectarian school.

Since the Sy family bought a 60-percent stake of the school from the family of late university founder Mariano Jhocson, National University — or simply, NU — has nurtured a steady stream of scholars from the foundation.
