Alumni group donates to scholarship fund for USTHS students

The University of Santo Tomas High School Emerald Jubilarian Class of 1960, on March 9, donated an additional amount of P500,000 to a scholarship fund for “poor but deserving” USTHS students.

 

Signing of the Memorandum of Agreement to establish the scholarship fund, held Sept. 25 last year at the UST Rector's Board Room

Held at the UST Rector’s Board Room, the turnover of donation was made between class representatives Dinualdo Yap and Amella Guillamun, and Fr. Rolando de la Rosa, OP, director of the UST Office for Grants, Endowments and Partnerships in Higher Education.

Also witness to the event was Assoc. Prof. Marishirl Tropicales, USTHS principal.

The donation has now been added to the UST High School Alumni Alliance Foundation, Inc. Scholarship Fund, the initial amount of which was P6.3 million. The said fund was established on Sept. 25 last year after the USTHS Alumni Alliance Foundation, headed by Liberty Esquivias-Gamboa, gave to the University the consolidated hand-outs from the many helpful USTHS alumni for the financially challenged USTHS students.
