In April 2026, UPNAAI proudly awarded BSN scholarships to eight UP College of Nursing students and provided one‑time educational assistance grants to 24 additional students. These opportunities were made possible through the generosity of our donors and sponsors, whose support helps nurture the next generation of UP nurses.

"There are moments in life when help comes not only as financial assistance, but as hope itself. For me, receiving the UPNAAI Scholarship Grant was one of those moments."
“The scholarship I received from UPNAAI did more than help me continue my studies—it told me it was okay for me to dream.”
"The stipend has helped ease both my academic and financial burdens, allowing me to focus more on my studies and clinical duties."
"Thank you so much again for investing in my future and for lessening the load on my mom. Your kindness means the world to us, and it really pushes me to work twice as hard."
"Like many students, I had been quietly carrying the weight of worrying about how my family and I would manage the costs of my Nursing education. This scholarship lifted so much of that burden off our shoulders."
"The kindness and generosity extended to students like me have a lasting impact on our lives and encourage us to
continue pursuing our goals despite individual challenges."
