    U.E.-Tykfi scholar pursues medicine

    6/29/2012

    Arwadin Uybarreta Usman, 20, graduated magna cum laude from the University of the East Manila with a Bachelor of Science degree major in Psychology.  He was a U.E.-Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. scholar throughout those four years.  This June, Usman(or Jan as he is more often called) entered the University of the East Ramon Magsasay Memorial Medical Center (UERMMMC) also as a scholar of TYKFI to pursue a medical degree. Following, in his own words, Jan talks about his scholarship and his aspirations.  

    THE VALUE OF THE TYK FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP

    I first knew about the U.E.-TYKFI Scholarship through my brother who is older than me by two years. He was a UE-TYKFI scholar for four years in the Dentistry course. However, his decision to shift to another course, BS Biology, disqualified him as a recipient of the grant. Whether he continued his first course or started his college education in the course he really was interested in, I strongly believe he would have graduated as a scholar as well. For a time, both of us simultaneously held our UE-TYKFI scholarships. 

    For a single parent who has always done her best ever to provide excellent guidance and support towards a bright future for her children, this was a great honor for our mother. A graduate of dentistry also from the University of the East, she expressed time and time again how honored and lucky she felt. Graduating with Latin honors and diminishing the burden of tuition fees is my way of giving back the amazing care she has exemplified for me and my brother.

    I am truly thankful for the scholarship that was granted to me for the past four years. Now that I am about to embark on a more difficult academic venture, I am all the more grateful that I am still being supported by the Foundation that gave meaning to my college education. It gives me the opportunity to realize my goal to become a community-oriented doctor of medicine. With God’s help, the Foundation’s trust and support for my potential, and the inspiration that my family and friends give me, I am highly motivated to make the most of my studies in UERMMMCI and to learn as much as I can, so that I may one day give in return health and medical service with integrity.

      UE-TYKFI Scholarship Program

      The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. and the University of the East established the UE-TYKFI scholarship program in 1998 to provide free quality education to deserving UE undergraduate students and faculty members. Close to 1,000 students, including 12 faculty members and 60 grantees, have benefited from the program. 

      For the past 13 school years, TYKFI has spent no less than PhP68.1 million for the program, covering book allowance, uniform subsidy, transportation allowance and monthly stipend. On the other hand, UE has spent PhP98.7 million for tuition and other school fees. The scholarship is renewable every semester provided that the scholar meets the grade requirement and finishes his/her course within the prescribed period. 

      The scholarship program for regular faculty members covers a book allowance and monthly stipends (including study leave pay, tuition and other school fees) for two consecutive years for a master’s degree or four years for a doctorate degree. Both degrees may be pursued at the UE Graduate School, or in another university if the field of specialization is not offered in UE. 

      The undergraduate scholarships are in selected fields considered relevant to the needs of the Philippines for high-level manpower, namely Engineering and Computer Science/Information Technology, Mathematics and the Sciences, Accountancy and Dentistry, English and Communication Arts. 

      To qualify for a student scholarship, applicants must meet a set of criteria. For further details, please call 735- 5471 local 398, 399 or 735-8577 (UE Manila), 367-4787 or 367-4572 (UE Caloocan) or 816-5520 and -22 (TYKFI).
