Silliman University, in response to the pressing need amid the damage brought by the recent earthquakes that hit Southern Mindanao, spearheads the sending of financial help as well as psycho-social debriefing among the victims particularly those who are members of the alumni association in the area and the students currently enrolled in the university.
Dr. Betty Cernol McCann, SU president, said that the university will send financial help through the alumni chapter and the UCCP church in Kidapawan City, North Cotabato. At the same time, the university will offer Psychosocial Processing (debriefing) among the victims through the Psychology Department.

“The financial aid to the victims particularly to our students would help them continue their studies amid the crisis their families are now suffering. This financial assistance would be: 1) partial or full waiver or (2) partial or full deferment of tuition, fees, board and/or dorm,” McCann emphasized.
However, the category of assistance awarded to qualified students would depend on the period of eligibility and the criteria for assistance based on the policy on financial relief of the university.
The students may apply for the assistance and may be granted based on the evaluation and validation of their situation.
As this developed, Silliman University is also calling other alumni to help the victims in Southern Mindanao by sending their donations, preferably canned goods or cash, to the Alumni and External Office headed by Mr. Ruben N. Bokingo.
