The UPLIFT Program champions the Department of Education (DepEd)’s goal for the K-12 program to develop students for higher education and employment. It includes training in communication, analytics, client servicing, and risk management. This program addresses the aspirations of the 19% of SHS students at FEU High School who want to pursue employment after graduation.
“We are honored to partner with one of the world’s largest and most respected financial institutions for a program that will significantly help our senior high school students who aspire to work in the financial industry.

The program further extends its support by providing financial assistance to outstanding students who aspire to pursue a college degree through the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). FEU HS is the first secondary school to offer the program exclusively to at least 18-year-old graduating senior high school students.
