The scholarship forms are available at the VECO Full Service Centers in SM City Cebu and Bulacao Talisay, VECO collection offices at Piazza Elesia in Talamban and Ermac Arcade in Cansaga, Consolacion or through VECO’s website. Or you can visit any VECO collection office in SM, Talamban, or Talisay and ask for a VECO scholarship Application Kit.

The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the cornerstone of the company’s community involvement. The company’s current projects such as the construction of the school buildings in various areas around Cebu have greatly benefited the school children.
VECO continues to give back to the Cebuano community through its Purposive Scholarship Program. The selection of VECO scholars was based on the applicants’ financial status, special awards, extracurricular activities, academic status, and timely submission of requirements. The selection process also included a final interview.
