Alpha Sadcopen - Recipient of a College Scholarship

Congratulations to Alpha Sadcopen, who received a partial college scholarship from the Philippine Medical Association today in Westmont, IL.  Joining her today were her mother and brother, Tina & Herbert and the family of BIBBAK-IL officers Rex & Michelle Delson.  Of the four recipients who received this year's PMA scholarship, Alpha holds the highest grade point average, which earns her the #1 ranking of all recipients this year.

Her place of origin, the Mountain Province, has a history of people earning great academic achievements.  This sense of achievement is magnified even more when Igorots from there excel here in America, as Alpha is doing.  It is an exemplary and inspiring statement of what Igorots can achieve through hard work and intelligence.

Alpha recently graduated from Bolingbrook High School earlier this year and has just begun her college studies here in Chicago at Columbia University.  BIBBAK Illinois is very proud of her accomplishments and extends all of our best wishes to her.  Again, congratulations Alpha!
