The Eyoners Club Scholarship was not new to me because as a matter of fact during my freshman year I was one of the aspiring students who tested my luck. I wan not enjoying any scholarship at that time and my earnest desire to help my mother lessen the burden of supporting me financially was my great motivation to grab such a rare opportunity. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it up to the top 1, but I knew life wouldn’t end there because a year after that I decided to apply as an Eyoner and fortunately, just last year I became a full pledged member. The bottom line is, I may not get the scholarship I badly needed at that time but what I’ve achieved now is more than enough. Being in the club is one of the fruitful years I have in the university. It really paid all my efforts and sacrifices. It just shows that God has greater things in store for us, if we just keep the faith.
Barely a month after our acceptance (Batch Ouvrier), the club decided to give me a greater challenge, a task which I cannot refuse and that is being the chairperson of TECSAP. It came as a surprise and I was really overwhelmed to the trust and confidence they reposed on me and it’s funny that once before I was an applicant of the scholarship and now I’m taking the floor of being the chairperson. When I look back to that day, it just made me smile for now I know that God has greater purpose for me.
I know how hard it is to be given such a big responsibility but with the help of my jos and jies I am able to make through. My batch mates Jie Donna and Jie Chelo helped me make and post the information drive and I was so happy because the response was overwhelming. I received roughly 5-15 envelopes containing application requirements everyday, even though they knew that we would be selecting only one scholar. It just shows that there are still a lot of students who are in need of financial support but sad to say we have to choose the one who deserves and needs it the most.
There were 40 applicants who took the exam last September 22, 2007 (1-5pm). We first gave a shore orientation regarding the TECSAP, followed by the rules of the examination proper. We immediately checked the papers afterwards and painstakingly rechecked and evaluated the results. We finally came up with the top 5 and interviewed them the following day. We were both objective and subjective in choosing the next Eyoner scholar. We considered their financial needs as well as their intelligence capacity if they can sustain their scholarship granted that they would be chosen.
The panel who interviewed were composed primarily of Jo Jae Lord, Jo Greggy, Jo RJ, Jie Hanna, Jie Nova, the chairperson and some other jos and jies present at that time. After knowing their conditions, background and other necessary matters, we trim down the top 5 to only 2. The next basis would be the Cumulative Grade Point Average there earned after the 1st semester A.Y. 2006-07. Then finally, after the rigid process, we were able to come up with our scholar who is Romark D. Cornel, a first year AB Communication Studies student, major in Development Communication (for more information regarding the scholar, kindly check his profile on the site).
Just recently, we successfully conducted the Science-Mathematics Quiz Show at the Academic Complex last January 23, 2008. the solicitations letters really helped a lot, but it wasn’t enough and we can’t afford to jeopardize our preparation for the reason that we don’t have sufficient funds. So, we find means and ways to cover up the expenses for the preparation. With that, we are appealing to you jos and jies to please donate any amount you can offer to help support our scholar. And your help will not be put to waste and it would really help a lot in realizing one’s dream. In behalf of the Eyoners Club, I want to thank those people who are in one way or another contributed and extended their efforts in making this Student Assistance Program possible.
