The CHED Region X, in partnership with the Philippine Coconut Authority Region X, hosted the 1st Scholar’s Summit of the Scholarship Program for Coconut Farmers and their Families (CoScho) on October 7, 2026, at Limketkai Luxe Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City.

Established pursuant to Republic Act No. 11524, or the Coconut Farmers and Industry Trust Fund (CFITF) Act, the CoScho program was created with a clear and noble intent: to provide life-changing educational opportunities to our coconut farmers and their families.

The Summit gathered together 194 CoScho scholars, Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Plan (CFIDP) implementing agencies, and scholarship coordinators from Higher Education Institutions hailing from Region X and BARMM, for a day of inspiration, learning, recognition, and new opportunities.

A major highlight of this gathering is the formal recognition of our CoScho graduates—most notably those who have achieved Latin honors and successfully passed their respective professional licensure examinations. Participants were also engaged in key sessions on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career pathways.

The event was more than a celebration of academic achievements. This reinforces the Commission’s ACHIEVE Agenda focusing on human capital development and advancing and expanding life-long learning.
