The country’s pioneering live-streaming and digital bingo game operator BingoPlus through BingoPlus Foundation is set to invest in the vast potential of young Filipinos to help engineer a better future for the country.
BingoPlus Foundation officially inked a 3-year,
FutureSmart Scholarship Program worth six million pesos with iACADEMY, one of
the most innovative and sought-after technology, design, and business academic
institutions in the country. The FutureSmart Scholarship program will provide
scholarships in BCSC software engineering, BS in entertainment and multimedia
computing game development, and BS in information technology with
specialization in web development to ten outstanding students from deserving
families.
Jasper Vicencio, President of BingoPlus and Trustee of BingoPlus Foundation said, “The FutureSmart Scholarship is our way of investing in the country’s youth as the driver of progress in the future. And we want to give equal opportunities to deserving students with so much potential but lack the necessary resources to continue their education in pursuit of their dreams and aspirations for themselves, their families, and the nation. Indeed, doing something good especially for education is a plus.”
The choice of technology for the program is inspired by
BingoPlus. "Economies depend on
digital-savvy individuals who are ready to take the helm of
their organization’s digital transformation. BingoPlus itself, like any modern
company, runs on the wonders of technology and a solid IT infrastructure. Our
mission is not only to provide support for education but also future employment
for qualified individuals," Vincencio added.
iAcademy Chief Operating Officer Raquel Wong meanwhile expressed
her utmost gratitude to BingoPlus Foundation for extending its generosity to
exemplary students who will not have to worry about finishing the program due
to lack of financial resources.

"What BingoPlus Foundation
and iAcademy crafted for the program will definitely help students fulfill
their dreams, as well as contribute positive change to our society. The career
path in computing is very lucrative and iAcademy has been very consistent
because our programs, especially the ones related to computing, delivered 96%
placement rate," she says.
