Miriam Celine J. Miciano

Warm congratulations to Miriam Celine J. Miciano! She'll be graduating from the Marinduque National High School next month but is already making waves in small town Boac where she lives. Miriam is an awardee of the Oblation Scholarship from the University of the Philippines. This scholarship is a special recognition to the top 50 passers of the UP College Admission Test, a select few constituting less than 0.4% of the 12,732 who qualified for admission to UP this year. (75,000 applicants took the country's most competitive college entrance exam).

But Miriam also took the College Entrance test at the Ateneo de Manila University and was, likewise, chosen to receive the Ateneo Freshman Merit Scholarship that includes a grant of full tuition and fees for any college degree. Next question is which school will be her choice..

Miriam is a daughter of proud parents, Edwin S. Miciano, Boac MTC Judge and Celeste Miciano of the DTI Marinduque Office. She is the third of four children.
