(Ike Pahm)

The University of the Philippines Alumni Association of Wisconsin (UPAA-W) is proud to share a touching message of gratitude from one of our recent Iskolar ng Bayan (INB) scholarship recipients, Julmar Parages.

In a letter filled with sincerity and hope, Julmar expresses deep appreciation for the support received through the UPAA-W’s UP Scholarship Program. This assistance has not only eased the financial burden of pursuing higher education but has also inspired a renewed sense of purpose and determination.

Your generosity has made a significant impact on my academic journey. It has allowed me to focus more on my studies and less on financial worries. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to continue my education with your support.

Julmar recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from UP Cebu, a testament to his hard work, perseverance, and the power of community support.

Julmar’s story is a powerful reminder of the transformative role that UP alumni and donors play in shaping the future of our youth. It is through your unwavering support that UPAA-W continues to uplift deserving students and empower them to reach their full potential.

To our fellow alumni, donors, and supporters—Maraming Salamat! Thank you for believing in the power of education and for making stories like Julmar’s a reality.
