Aboitiz Foundation’s Future Leaders Program strengthened through group-wide synergy

Building on collaboration across the Aboitiz Group, Aboitiz Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of the Philippines’ first Techglomerate, is strengthening the Aboitiz Future Leaders Program by bringing together the distinct expertise of its business units to support scholars beyond the classroom, that is, connecting academic excellence with real-world experience, values formation, and community impact.

Across the country, Aboitiz business units serve as implementing partners of the scholarship program, anchoring it in local contexts while opening pathways to industry exposure.

Through internships, mentoring, volunteer work, and learning and development sessions, scholars are supported not only in earning degrees but in understanding how their education translates into real-world challenges and opportunities.

Future Leaders Program philosophy

This approach reflects the philosophy of Aboitiz Future Leaders Program that leadership is a journey shaped by responsibility and purpose. By creating opportunities for scholars to learn alongside practitioners, the scholarship helps build confidence, resilience, and a deeper commitment to service.

In partnership with AboitizPower, Aboitiz Foundation is currently supporting 36 scholars across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, enrolled in disciplines such as technology, data, communications, environmental studies and agriculture. These scholars are pursuing their studies at University of the Philippines (UP) campuses in Baguio, Cebu and Mindanao.

Animal science and forestry scholars

Aboitiz Foundation has also partnered with Aboitiz Foods to support 12 scholars taking up animal science and forestry at Pampanga State Agricultural University.

The collaboration aims to help strengthen the future talent pipeline for the food and agriculture sector by aligning academic learning with practice through curriculum alignment, industry-based mentorship, internship opportunities, and learning engagements.
