Giving of Incentives to Honor Students by Awarding of Medals Through the years, awards and recognition to honor students of the beneficiaries of the NCIP-EAP/MBS were not regularly provided due to limited fund resources. With the amendment of the NCIP-EAP Guidelines in 2014 through CEB Resolution No. 06-099-2014, the clamor or Regional Offices to award incentives was addressed. Section 15 © of the said CEB Resolution provides for giving of incentives for those who graduate with academic honors (e.g. Magna Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude, Cum Laude, Valedictorian or Salutatorian) as well as leadership and social responsibility awards, among others, either in cash and in kind. The giving of awards through medals will encourage and motivate the EAP/MBS grantees to strive for better excellence and likewise become proactive outstanding members of the school and their community. For 2018, about 32 gold medals, 15 silver medals and 28 bronze medals were given to deserving EAP/MBS beneficiaries.
