Amor family expands scholarship program at SU

Alumni Update January 5 – 11, 2026

The family of the late Delia J. and Alexander G. Amor and Silliman University recently signed a letter of agreement to expand its scholarship program by eight new scholarships starting SY 2026-2027. It currently has four endowed scholarships.

Currently, the endowments cover scholarships covering mass communication, medicine, and nursing. The new scholarships will be available for students studying agriculture, anthropology, education, engineering, history, law, medical technology, performing arts, physical therapy, political science, and social work.

Depending on the course, the scholarships are valued at Ps.40,000 to Ps. 80,000 annually. The new scholarships will be endowed with a total of Ps.12,000,000. The current Amor scholarship and other endowments are valued at Ps.16,000,000.

The new scholarships are established in honor of Amor family members and friends:

• Amalia G. and Alejo B. Amor Scholarship (for College of Education students)
• Alex J. and Boots S. Amor Scholarship (for College of Agriculture students)
• Audrey J. Amor and Claudio Ablona Scholarship (for nursing, physical therapy, or medical
  technology students)
• Alexdel J. Amor Scholarship (for College of Engineering students)
• Averill J. and Mae C. Amor Scholarship (for College of Law students)
• Armida J. Amor Scholarship (for students majoring in Political Science)
• Christopher Cofone Scholarship (for Social Work students)
• Karen Anne Makovica Scholarship (for female College of Law students)

The current Amor scholarships are in honor of Alexander G. Amor, Delia J. Amor, Adlai J. Amor, Arnel J. Amor, and Dr. Avelex S. Amor.

In addition to these scholarships, the Amor family endowed the Delia J. Amor Endowment for Campus Ministry (administered by the SU Church), the Alexander G. Amor Electronic Newsroom, and the Villegas-de la Vina History Lecture Series as well as a large pledge for the rebuilding of the SU Alumni Hall.

“Three generations of our family have benefitted from Silliman University — as employees, scholars, and students,” said Adlai J. Amor (1994 Outstanding Sillimanian Awardee). “We leave these scholarships and other endowments as our testimony to God’s munificence and in gratitude for all that God has given us through Silliman University.”

The scholarships and other Amor endowments will be dedicated during a memorial service on May 14, 2026, at the Udarbe Memory Chapel.
