The scholarships are being granted under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Scheme, which allows corporations to sponsor the tuition fees of deserving students. Through the PPP scheme, students are required to have endorsements from their local congressional or senatorial representatives to qualify for the scholarship. SFCC also accepts student nominations from the aforementioned government officials allowing congressmen and senators to nominate deserving students from their constituencies who may lack the full resources to continue their studies.
        
Real estate developer Cathay Land will sponsor three government-nominated students for scholarship at SFCC and is offering dormitory rooms at special discounted rates at Scandia Suites in South Forbes Golf City for all SFCC students.
