The Center for Integrated Technologies (CIT) is a fortunate recipient of the Pablo Paras Memorial Scholarship fund, a scholarship program in honor of Pablo Paras, father of Engr Elipidio Paras, chairman of the XU Board of Trustees and proprietor of Parasat Cable TV.

The scholarship covers tuition, matriculation and other fees of students who will study automotive technology, computer & electronics technology, industrial electronics technology or mechanical technology at CIT

“He was an excellent mechanic,” related Paras of his father, who came with his wife to Cagayan de Oro from Pampanga in 1951 with just P500 in his pocket.  “Our success is largely because of them,” he said on behalf of his siblings. He shared  that “hopefully, we can add more scholars.”

The Pablo Paras Memorial Scholarship will commence school year 2012-2013. It is open to all high school graduates from Northern Mindanao in need of financial assistance.
