Taking off in 2008, the Scholarship Program has now 25 children enrolled in the DLA, two high school, two college students and six piano scholars as follows:

Of these 26 children in the DLA, 8 came from the outreaches, 6 are children of church workers while the rest are children of church members.  SCCD was blessed with co-dream sojourners being sponsors, SCCD sister church UCC Holmdel in New Jersey, USA support 2 children’s education:

High School

1. Liezl Almendral
2. Marvin Almendral

College

1. 3^rd year College – Avin Matro
2. 3^rd year College – Nicole Frani

These college students receive scholarship grants from sister church AAEC (Asian American Ecumenical Church) and the Hayag couple in the USA support the Hayag students.  A back-to-back scholarship program for college students is the educational loan payable when already employed after graduation.

These 6 scholars are enrolled in the Conference initiated program “Piano Yes!” which started last year under the tutelage of Bro. Rey del Rosario, music worker of UCCP Anabu.  The goal of this program is to produce a steady supply of accompanists in church worship and eventually choir directors. Support comes from generous individuals whose dream is for SCCD to live up to her being known as “a singing church” all for the glory of God!
