The Outstanding Thomasian Alumni Awards

The Outstanding Thomasian Alumni Awards

THE OUTSTANDING THOMASIAN ALUMNI (TOTAL) Award is the highest honor bestowed by the University of Santo Tomas (UST) and the UST Alumni Association, Inc. (USTAAI) upon the Thomasian Alumni, in recognition of their significant and exemplary contribution to the society and the Church.

The conferment of the TOTAL Award commenced in 1993 and continued as as an annual event until 2009, when the University and the UST Alumni Association, Inc. agreed to grant the Award every other year. Through the years, TOTAL has continued to draw inspiration from all stakeholders of the Thomasian community, as it likewise inspires the Thomasian students, the future Alumni and Alumnae of the University, towards the pursuit of excellence in their academic as well as spiritual and moral formation.

The following SPECIAL AWARDS are likewise conferred during the TOTAL Award Ceremonies: Thomasian Family Award, Young Thomasian Achiever, and the Meritorious Achievement Award.

The Outstanding Thomasian Alumni (TOTAL) AWARD

The TOTAL Award is conferred upon an Alumna/Alumnus who exemplifies the Thomasian core values in his/her respective field of expertise: competence in pioneering human endeavors, commitment to his/her profession and compassion for others, particularly the marginalized in society.
