“U.P. Naming Mahal: A Valentine Special” is a fundraising event, with all ticket sales earmarked for U.P. scholarships. UPAAA currently offers eight stipend scholarships to the U.P.

In addition, there is a permanent endowment fund for stipend scholarships.
UPAA NJ will be resuming its scholarship program this year.
These financial grants are possible because of donations from generous alumni and other friends of U.P.
The alumni organizations are honored by the participation of U.P.’s very own Philippine National Artist for Music, Professor Ryan Cayabyab, along with the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, three of whom are UP alumni: Katherine Tiuseco, Poppert Bernadas and Nica Tulsa.
