    3/7/2019

    150 scholars from Grade 7 to 12 were selected to become the scholars under the TYKFI-STA Scholarship Program for Farmers Children for school year 2018-2019, the largest batch of scholars since its launch in 2016

        The Foundation welcomed 53 Grade 7 scholars and 97 continuing scholars as they spent an academic year at the Saint Teresita’s Academy, a Catholic private school in Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya.

        Apart from the free tuition and miscellaneous fees, the scholars also received books, uniforms and shoes, and school supplies as part of the scholarship program. In exchange, the scholars have to maintain an average of 85% with no grade lower than 80, and grow as God-fearing and responsible members of the community.
        Few days after the opening of classes, the scholars received notebooks, ballpens, pad papers, and a case of Camay Beauty Bar Soap on August 10, 2018. On November 14, they received their school shoes and rubber shoes.
        The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. sees the need for the younger generation to be equipped with knowledge through quality education. Beyond this, the Foundation believes that continuing education as well as supporting strategic education projects helps mold young people to be competent individuals with good character.
        The previous school year 2017-2018 saw 110 scholars, who are children of industrious farmers belonging to indigenous groups in Aritao, Kayapa, and Sta. Fe in Nueva Vizcaya, finish a year under the scholarship program. These hardworking scholars saw the fruit of their labor and sacrifices with some of them receiving recognition for their exemplary performance during the commencement exercises. Among them were Rommel Pilde, who recently finished Grade 12 with high honors and is now in college; and Novelyn Lacquias, who is now in Grade 9. Both see the value of education to better the life of their families.

      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).
