The PHINMA National Scholarship (PNS) program, launched in 2006 during PHINMA’s 50th anniversary, aims to foster the next generation of leaders through education and nation-building. Beyond financial assistance, PNS offers mentorship and development opportunities, shaping scholars into socially engaged professionals committed to the Philippines’ economic and social growth. To date, the program has produced over 250 licensed accountants, engineers, and teachers.
