Are you a student looking to attend the Scholar Awards Ceremony? Sign up here for FREE.

We all remember the time when we were in college: high energy, high enthusiasm, and low on funds. Especially for the students who are currently on financial aid, working a part-time job, or on a student loan, every bit can make the difference in helping them achieve their breakthrough and help them become one of tomorrow’s leaders in the community.

There are (3) ways to contribute toward the award winner:

1. Donate with credit card in $20 increments. Select the menu option “Contribution to Fil-Am scholar of the year” and select how many $20 donations you’d like to give. Online credit card payments are preferred, but checks can be accepted on the day of the event. Email us at info@faccoc.com if your company requires an invoice.
2. Donate a silent auction or raffle prize. 100% of the proceeds will go toward the fund. A silent auction prize is usually an attractive item or service that guests would be willing to bid. Examples include: 18 holes of golf at a desired golf club, a weekend getaway for 2, dining certificate, etc. Raffle prizes are usually items that are lower in value or with less appeal. Please send an email to info@faccoc.com if you have a prize. Please place “silent auction” in the subject line.
3. Sponsor a nominee. Most students cannot afford the price of attending our GALA. As much as FACCOC would like to “comp” all students, the cost of having an event and dinner at an attractive venue doesn’t allow us this luxury. We feel it would be a “win-win” for a business owner or corporate representative to give back to their Alma Mater and be the one personally presenting the nominee for the evening.

Do you know a student who deserves recognition going into the 2016-17 school year? FACCOC’s “Generations” will honor up to 5 students from local college campuses where an organized Filipino American student organization exists.

Awardees will be selected from a panel consisting of FACCOC leadership and local alumni of your University. They will have access to influential and connected business owners within their desired fields along with local politicians in the area. FACCOC will ensure that the industry leaders or business owners of the awardees choice are seated at your table in hopes of making career enhancing connections.

Awardees will be given admission for (2) at the GALA which includes dinner free of charge. They will have the ability to purchase a table or additional tickets at FACCOC’s member rate.

We are currently raising funds for a “Fil-Am Student of the Year” that will be chosen from each University’s awardees.

** NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED FOR USC, CSUF, AND UCLA **

Criteria:

1. Must be a graduating senior who will receive their diploma by June 2017.
2. Must demonstrate impeccable leadership on campus.
3. Having a current leadership position in a Filipino student organization is a plus.
4. High GPA is a plus.
5. Must be influential on their peers and have strong communication skills.
6. Must be able to attend the Generations GALA on the evening October 7th at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.
