USC presents ISKOLARSHIP ATBP.

The University Student Council Academic Affairs Committee recently held ISKOLARSHIP ATBP which is a university wide scholarship, academic opportunities, and research grants fair last September 5 to September 7 at the College of Engineering Third Flood Lobby. The event was sponsored by Chocolate Kiss and was held in cooperation with the Office of Scholarships and Student Services, Aussie Pinoy Edu, British Council and Quezon City Councilor Jaime Borres.

The event featured a three-day exhibit of all the scholarship grants available at the Office of Scholarships and Student Services as well as lunch seminars in each day of the fair. The event was opened with a talk from previous recipients of scholarships and now professors and researchers at the university on the theme Valuing UP Education. The talk emphasized why students should give back to the university. The next two days explored study-abroad opportunities for students with speakers from the Aussie Pinoy Edu, study consultants of Australia and the British Council offering the Chevening Scholarship. Free food courtesy of Chocolate Kiss was given to all participants.

The event was spearheaded by Academic Affairs Committee Head and College of Engineering Representative Francis Serina.
