The primary goal of USTEAA (USA) is to provide financial help to smart students who have a heavy financial burden pursuing their studies.
With great pride, I want to let everyone know we are quite successful in our endeavor. Our hard work to raise money to fund the education of these scholars is well rewarded as shown by what they accomplished.
· Graduated Scholars
Karen Bulante, ChE 2003, graduated cum laude, assigned to Yokohama Japan for training but is now back in the Philippines working with a chemical firm in Manila
Joanna Marie Solomon, CE 2008, graduated cum laude, assigned to work as Site Engineer with a construction company in Abu Dhabi for the past 2 years

· Current Scholar
Mary Grace Casuncad, 3rd year CE student
· Replacement Scholar
For school year 2010-2011, we are seeking applicants who are in their second year at UST Faculty of Engineering to replace an existing scholar who was disqualified due to unsatisfactory grades. This 5-year scholarship grant is made possible through the generosity of Angelina Bigornia-Hunter, class ’72 ChE graduate and member of USTEAA (USA).
·
New Scholar
Starting school year 2010-2011, a new five year scholarship grant will be awarded to a smart but financially handicapped student.
We would not have been able to provide financial assistance to these students without your help.
So thanks and kudos to all who helped in whatever way they did. Give yourselves a pat on your back. ■
