The University of the Philippines, the premier public university of the Philippines, serves over 60,000 students and 7,000 faculty members, dependent on government funding for its operations and making it susceptible to the changing priorities and decisions of politicians, as well as economic downturns. The UPAAA aims to unite alumni and other supporters of UP to collaborate on initiatives to lend support.
| We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization of alumni of the University of the Philippines and other supporters of our Alma Mater. We bring together former UP students from diverse disciplines who have settled outside the Philippines, fostering connections among them and with the University. |
We facilitate the provision of financial and professional support within the UP system, assisting deserving students with limited resources, alumni seeking further education, and faculty members dedicated to impactful roles in nation-building. |

UPAAA members fund stipend scholarships and other forms of assistance in various UP Constituent Universities and one autonomous college.
