CONSIDERING the necessity of the internet as a tool for learning and its rising cost in the Philippines, leading fiber broadband provider Converge ICT Solutions Inc. is launching an internet scholarship program for 10 underprivileged public school students in senior high under the brand name of its postpaid fiber plan BIDA.

The BIDA Fiber Internet Scholarship Program is open to incoming Grade 11 students enrolled in public schools who have chosen the STEM track. They must also be in the top 10 percent of their graduating batch, among other requirements.
