The Leaders and Achievers of Velasco Scholarship Program is funded through Cong. Lord Allan Velasco's Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). It provides educational assistance to poor but deserving students in participating Marinduque schools.



Participating schools include the Marinduque State College and its campuses throughout the province, Educational Systems Technological Institute (ESTI), Marinduque Midwest College (MMC), St. Mary's College of Marinduque (SMCM), and Sta. Cruz Institute. Funds are transferred directly to the colleges in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), involving, in the case of private colleges, CHED, the relevant school and Cong. Velasco as Project Initiator. Other participating institutions are Torrijos Poblacion School of Arts and Trade (TPSAT) in Torrijos and Buyabod School of Arts and Trade (BSAT) in Sta. Cruz. Cash payments are paid directly by the school concerned to the students.
All cash payments are disbursed by the school.

Envelopes are properly labeled.
