School year ends in about 3 months and as a parent I share the sentiments of other parent as to how they could afford to send their children into college. I myself have five kids, two of which are in college, 2 in high school and one in primary level. Sending my kids to a good school that offers scholarship is a blessing that I will be forever be grateful of. I want to share this blessing to other parents as well. My two daughters are studying in UST; both of them are scholars, one in music and one in architecture.
