The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) scholarship program is designed to support underprivileged yet deserving students, specifically those who are children or grandchildren of agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs), small farmers, and fishers, who belong to the Bank’s mandated sectors. The program aims to uplift the youth from the 60 poorest provinces in the country by providing scholarships for courses offered at selected State Universities and Colleges (SUCs). Through this initiative, LANDBANK seeks to nurture the potential of these students and empower them to contribute to the development of their communities.
