Education

• Scholarships and Grants
  

  Since its establishment in 1962, AUF has been supporting the education of indigent but deserving students through scholarships and grants.
  
  For the past five years, AUF has spent some US $ 1.1 million ( Php 55 million) to support the education of 2,600 scholars by providing them free tuition and miscellaneous fees, books, school supplies, uniform, board and lodging facilities.
