Scholarship Background
The Sun Life Financial Philippines Foundation supports and enhances programs of importance to Filipinos, including health, education and social improvements.
With the banner campaign of “Brighter World,” the Foundation has already given close to a P100 million to the different causes it champions, such as education, health and well-being, environment, culture, and the arts.
In 1992, Sun Life also established a scholarship program for Actuarial Science at the University of the Philippines Department of Mathematics. They chose this subject because of the direct impact it had on the insurance industry in the country, which then had only 65 actuaries. Education is a lasting endowment of their program of Corporate Citizenship.
