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.

Supporting these dreams - opening the doors of opportunity for well-deserving students who can join us only if given financial assistance through of scholarship - puts the cost on us. And providing Jesuit education without compromising quality this part of the world in itself comes at very high cost. To boot ---

  • Our roster of faculty members and staff is the best in the region for which we provide competitive compensation;
  • Our facilities are world-class so that we are recognized as centers of excellence in the Bikol region in various fields;
  • Our campus contains infrastructure that is comparable to the best universities here and abroad;
  • Our curriculum and programs possess unique features that make for the highest standards of learning merged with truly Ignatian, Jesuit, and Christian formative components.

The challenge to maintain a track record of excellence on top of giving scholarships to promising young men and women is top priority in our university.

But this is a mission that we cannot do on our own resources. Time and again, resources have so dwindled that at one point in this university's history, we teetered on the decision to stay around. We triumphantly survived that. More than just surviving, we have boldly increased the number of scholarships we give each year in the hope that no one needs to be turned down. Our scholarship program is among our most robust endeavors. But for this, we need equally robust help!

Please do help us. Support us in this challenge of providing quality education to our deserving but financially disadvantaged youth. Share with us the conviction that they deserve no less. In return, our commitment to you is that it will be worth it. This is a pledge we have made to God, to ourselves, and to you.
