ESMEL Fellowships Program

In partnership with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation through the Metro Pacific Investments Foundation, the FLP launched the ESMEL Fellowships in 2022. The program aims to look for Filipinos with entrepreneurial spirit who promote sustainability, social justice, and/or equitable prosperity for all Filipinos. It also seeks to connect these aspiring entrepreneurs with like-minded individuals, enabling them to network and support one another in growing their respective businesses.

The program provides each year merit-based scholarship grants of up to ₱450,000 to five aspiring Filipino entrepreneurs taking up MBA or MS program in entrepreneurship, sustainability, management, economics and business law (ESMEL). The grant was increased to ₱500,000 in AY 2024-2025. As of AY 2025-2026, FLP has awarded 25 fellows for the program.
