    A bridge to our dreams

    Excerpts from message of Pamela Hsu, Current Scholar, 2nd year,  BSC

    First of all, I want to express, in behalf of my fellow scholars, my warm gratitude to all who are part of the UE-TYK Scholarship Program, especially to our dear Dr. Lucio C. Tan. This scholarship program has given us another experience and chance to realize our individual significance. Definitely, this opportunity is a bridge to our dreams, our goals and our own chosen passion.

        Being part of this family of scholars has given financial assistance to my mother. Ever since, I aspired to be of help to my mother, instead of being a burden. I witnessed how she persisted to see where I am right now. She always reminded me to always do the best I can because this will shape my future. From this, I vowed that she will be proud of me because I know that I can do it. I have taken this breathtaking challenge – enroll at UE and become a UE Tan Yan Kee grantee. The start of this academic journey means I have to live far from my family. I have to conquer fear because of the lack of comfort from my loved ones, but this I have to overcome because this is a trial for my bright tomorrow. The going is rough, but thanks to the very supportive people around me, little by little, my climb to the top will make me raise my flag of success.
        Being a scholar is indeed a challenge. I have to study hard just to prove to my teachers I deserve to hold the title. However, that thought has suddenly changed when I learned what it really means to be a scholar. A true scholar is one who may fail at times but knows how to recover and stand up. Without failing only means less learning, and by that, we are essentially not a true UE-TYK Scholar.
        For my fellow scholars, let this message be an inspiration to each one of us. Let us learn the true meaning of the existence of this scholarship program and the purpose of being chosen as part of it. Let us not lose hope when we commit mistakes. We must bravely face fears we may encounter every day. Try to look around us. There are many who will assist us and will notice our potentials. All we need to do is believe in ourselves. Believe that we are not just mere islands in a vast sea, but we are one archipelago of soon to be successful people of the future industrial world.
        Dan Brown wrote, “Everything is possible. The Impossible just takes longer”. Thus, we must know and see for eternity that nothing is impossible. Let us hold fast to the thought that when we believe, miracles happen.
    Pamela B. Hsu

      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).
