CEBU CITY, Philippines--More than P60 million will be spent by a group of shipping companies for 50 marine transportation and engineering scholars next school year. The 50 scholars, who will be enrolled at the University of Cebu (UC), are beneficiaries of the cadetship program of the International Maritime Employers Committee (IMEC), a group of 120 European ship owners and ship management companies that operates 6,500 ships. Captain Cedric D'Souza, training consultant of IMEC, said the association trust fund will be used to finance the students' scholarship, which include tuition, board and lodging, uniform and books that is equivalent to more than P130,000 per student in one school year.
