Welcome Message from the Chairman
WELCOME TO BUDHI
BUDHI means Beloved University Development and Heritage Initiatives. Beloved University refers to our dear Alma Mater Mindanao State University (MSU).
BUDHI is our attempt to assist MSU in its mandate of 1) educating our youth, 2) contributing to national integration with the Muslims and cultural minorities, 3) developing our communities, and 4) propagating peace in our MINSUPALA and the nation.
We will establish an Endowment Fund (a perpetual fund whose Bank interests and gains will be used) of One Hundred Million pesos (P 100 million Or $ 2 million) in Five years, 2024-2029.
We will eventually use the Endowment Fund proceeds for 1) scholarship grants for the poorest of the poor, but ambitious students, to study in the University; 2) faculty honoraria for retention; 3) thesis support for senior students; and 4) modest R&D of faculty and students.
We will source funds for the Endowment from alumni of the University and outside sources.
Please join us in this exciting adventure of Endowment Fund development. This is the first time it will be accomplished in the history of MSU.
Read about BUDHI in the following pages. Be counted as one of us, more importantly as benevolent Alumni of this University. Be a ray of BUDHI sun among many who are faithful and grateful to their Dakilang Paaralan, Pamantasang Mindanao. MSU is calling all of us.
Very sincerely yours,
RUFINO S. IGNACIO
Chairman
