FAS Scholarship Awardees
Since 2019, the Filipino American Society has proudly supported the academic dreams of outstanding students through our annual scholarship program. With a total of $8,000 awarded to date, we have recognized 15 exceptional scholars from across Iowa, Texas, Illinois, and even the Philippines. Each recipient reflects the values of leadership, service, and a deep connection to our Filipino heritage.
We are thrilled to congratulate our 2026 scholarship awardees: John Penalbar of Texas and Raelyn Lund of Iowa. Their achievements and aspirations embody the spirit of our community, and we are honored to play a small part in their journeys.
To all our past and present scholars: your success is our inspiration.
