An
Invitation to Give
A Call for Scholarships
for Ateneo de Naga Univeristy
"A bit of fragrance always
clings to the hand that gives you roses." (Chinese Proverb)
Primum Regnum Dei! Above all
things, the Kingdom of God!
This is Ateneo de Naga's marching
song. In our academic corridors, we sing it with stout hearts and unwavering
confidence!
In faith, we believe that Ateneo
de Naga University is the Lord's designated vessel for building His Kingdom
in the Bikol region.
For sixty-three years, we have
been blessed with the privilege of service in this region of majestic
mountains surpassed in beauty only by its captivating people.
After 63 years, we more than
ever know that ---
- Our Bikolano youth possess such outstanding gifts of mind and heart
honed in difficult circumstances that make their spirits rich.
- They have labored to complete a primary or a secondary education despite
the obstacles posed by poverty - and the stories of these obstacles
are as heart-wrenching as they are edifying.
- They come to our famous Four Pillars raring to step into a high school
or college that will equip them with tools for a future that will reshape
the scourge of their past.
- They brim with hope and carry with them a heart full of dreams.
- They ask for an opportunity to experience the Ateneo de Naga tradition
of excellence that they have witnessed in those who have come before
them.
- A great number of them half-expect to be turned down not for lack
of potential but for scarcity of resources to support this particular
hope and dream.
We at the Ateneo de Naga believe it is for these Bikolano youth that
we exist. To refuse these men and women entry into our university is to
turn our backs on what our Four Pillars stand for.
