This endowed IT&E scholarship was created in honor of Margarita Duenas Perez, mother of IT&E Overseas Chairman, Jose D. Perez, and Jaime Felipe Tuquero, co-founder of IT&E Overseas Inc. and PTI Pacifica Inc.
IT&E Corporation was formed in Guam in 1979 by Jose D. Perez, John M. Borlas, and the late Jaime F. Tuquero, selling business telecommunication products and equipment.
In 1983 IT&E Overseas was formed and introduced long distance telecom services. During the next two decades, they expanded offering internet access, email, broadband, wireless services, and installing fiber-optic cables connecting CNMI to Guam.
IT&E Overseas has been long-time partners of the UOG Endowment Foundation with their donations directly benefiting student scholarships and the construction of the Jesus & Eugenia Leon Guerrero School of Business & Public Administration building.
