About Timoteo & Luisa Cachola Scholarship Fund Inc (TLC Fund)

Our unique college scholarship award model is offered to low-income high school students in rural areas of the Philippines, so that they can complete their college or vocational education. We take a variety of socioeconomic factors into account, going beyond financial need of the applicant, and rewarding characteristics such as integrity, leadership, compassion, academic merit, and public service. In our scholars, we are looking for the next generation of Filipino leaders, who will be strong academically, ethically and socially. All of which pays tribute to Timoteo and Luisa Cachola, our honorable parents and inspiration behind the TLC Scholarship Fund. Along with awarding scholarships to deserving students, TLC also helps fund the construction of modest school buildings in rural areas of the country, especially in the province of Ilocos Sur, where many of our scholars originate. We give money to schools that are underfunded by the Philippine government, to help with expansion projects on existing structures, or for entirely new school structures. As well, TLC is involved in public health projects. We are partners with the Breast Cancer Imperative, which provides critical early detection cancer screening for indigent women in Northern Luzon, using an innovative mobile clinic called the Mammovan.
