ON Monday, Aug. 22, 2022, the Pacific Alliance of Municipal Councils released its first PAMC scholarship check to William M. Cing, who received the award on behalf of his daughter, Colleen SN Cing, who is now attending Northern Marianas College on Saipan.
PAMC established its High Achievers Scholarship program by funding each municipality’s municipal council’s scholarship program from its membership fees collections, donations and fundraising.
The 18th Tinian Municipal Council selected a recipient from the list of top 10 students, excluding the valedictorian and salutatorian, submitted by Tinian Jr/Sr High School. The student must be enrolled in a college of his or her choice and is ranked number 3 on the list.
Should the 3rd ranking student forfeit the award by not attending college then another student who is enrolled in college will receive the award.
Colleen Cing, who ranked ninth, was selected because the students ranked above her chose to enlist in the armed forces.
PAMC’s objective is to encourage new graduates to expand their horizon by seeking higher education. For more information, please contact your local municipal council office to inquire about their scholarship program.
