In 2003, Dr. Joey Castro started LIFE scholarships - an educational assistance program that provides high school and university scholarships to bright but poor young men and women with good academic standing who, if not for the scholarships, would have had no chance of finishing high school or getting a university degree. 

As the number of scholars continued to grow and the need for funding and programs increased, Real LIFE Foundation Inc. was established.  Thus, although the foundation was formally incorporated only in Macrh 2007, we have financially assisted more than 150 scholars over the past four years.

Our assistance extends to more than just tuition and fees - our scholarship program also provides for school materials, uniforms, transportation and a meal allowance, and mentoring in Leadership, Integrity, Faith and Excellence.  We give our scholars every possible advantage to ensure their future success.
