BingoPlus Foundation, the nation’s first live-streaming and digital bingo game provider, plans to invest in the enormous potential of young Filipinos in order to contribute to the creation of a better future for the nation.
The BingoPlus Foundation and iACADEMY, one of the nation’s most cutting-edge and sought-after academic institutions for technology, design, and business, have signed a three-year, six million peso FutureSmart Scholarship Program agreement. Ten exceptional students from deserving families will receive scholarships through the FutureSmart Scholarship program for their studies in BCSC software engineering, BS in entertainment and multimedia computing game development, and BS in information technology with a focus on web development.
Jasper Vicencio, President of BingoPlus and Trustee of BingoPlus Foundation said, “The FutureSmart Scholarship is our way of investing in the country’s youth as the driver of progress in the future. And we want to give equal opportunities to deserving students with so much potential but lack the necessary resources to continue their education in pursuit of their dreams and aspirations for themselves, their families, and the nation. Indeed, doing something good especially for education is a plus.”
The choice of technology for the program is inspired by BingoPlus. “Economies depend on
digital-savvy individuals who are ready to take the helm of their organization’s digital transformation. BingoPlus itself, like any modern company, runs on the wonders of technology and a solid IT infrastructure. Our mission is not only to provide support for education but also future employment for qualified individuals,” Vincencio added.
iAcademy Chief Operating Officer Raquel Wong meanwhile expressed her utmost gratitude to BingoPlus Foundation for extending its generosity to exemplary students who will not have to worry about finishing the program due to lack of financial resources.

“What BingoPlus Foundation and iAcademy crafted for the program will definitely help students fulfill their dreams, as well as contribute positive change to our society. The career path in computing is very lucrative and iAcademy has been very consistent because our programs, especially the ones related to computing, delivered 96% placement rate,” she says.
