Nike’s Jordan Brand has announced the expansion of The Jordan Brand Wings Scholars Program to the Philippines, adding to the existing Wings programs in North America, China and France. Six Filipino undergraduates, chosen from an original pool of 400, will receive full, four-year scholarships to Jordan Brand partner university, Ateneo de Manila University. They will also receive skills training, career guidance and mentorship throughout their time studying.
The Philippines has been described by Nike as a key home for basketball culture. Jordan brand president Craig Williams said of the choice of location: “When you think about the community in Manila who shows so much love for the game, it only makes sense that we would bring Jordan Wings to them, to extend this spirit of excellence.”
Jordan Brand Wings works with more than 30 global partners to create a better future for young people who need it most. Since 2015, it has granted more than 2,886 scholarships across the world. You can find more information here.
