Dissertation Writing Contest

In partnership with the Ayala Corporation and conducted in cooperation with the Philippine Association of Law Schools, this awards program seeks to investigate, nurture, and propagate the philosophy of the Foundation through scholarly legal writing on its core principles. Primary prize winners of the contest received ₱300,000 for first place, ₱200,000 for second place, ₱100,000 each for 3 third place winners. It has since generated 37 papers on law, jurisprudence, and relevant policies, as well as economics and technology.

In 2022, the program which was initially offered exclusively to third-year and fourth-year law students and those taking Master of Laws expanded the participation in the contest to students of business schools.
