aCommerce Grant Supports Education of Select Employees’ Children

At aCommerce, we believe that education is a stepping stone to experience. It enables children to broaden their knowledge and gain new perspectives, affecting how they perceive the world. We also believe that while we take care of our clients, we must also take care of our own.

For this reason, aCommerce has established a program that grants financial support to children of selected employees, as part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This CSR activity is in keeping with our core value of keeping it real, acknowledging that employees have a life outside of work, and encouraging them to be happy individuals.

Each year, 15 selected employees are each given the grant to support their child's educational fund. Through this program, we take a small step in supporting our employees, in hopes of fostering new thinking, actions, and solutions that can gradually lead to change.

Applications to this grant program are open to all permanent, full-time, and fixed-term employees at the associate, senior associate, and specialist levels who are under contract with aCommerce. The eligible employees must have rendered at least 1 year of service as of 31 May 2022 and must maintain their status as active employees on the date of the grant’s announcement.

One employee can apply for a grant for one child per year. The child can be either biological or adopted. Grant requests for an adopted child must be supported by legal documentary evidence.

Employees' children must be between 3 and 18 years of age and actively attending classes between kindergarten 1 and grade 12. They must also maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or an overall minimum GPA of 80% in their most recent semester in the academic year of 2021.

In the spirit of inclusion, aCommerce gives the grant to children enrolled in any school. We look forward to seeing this program flourish in the upcoming years as we aim to help support our employees and their children’s education.
