Announcing the Kinabukasan and Conference Scholarship Awards

We want to hear your kwentuhan!

In commemorating the 4th Annual Conference – Pamana sa Kinabukasan (Gift to the Future): The Filipinx Legacy as Seeds of the Future – CYFAM proudly announces the Kinabukasan and Conference Scholarship Awards.

About the Awards

  • Kinabukasan Award – This award is bestowed upon Conference volunteers whose contributions significantly exceed the expectations of their roles, demonstrating exceptional dedication and effort in supporting the Conference. Uniquely, this honor is reserved for those who, while not holding any formal leadership position within the CYFAM National Government, have nonetheless made impactful and noteworthy contributions. Nominations for this accolade are thoughtfully proposed by the Conference Coordinators, with the final selection made by the CYFAM Trustees through the Board of Directors.

  • Conference Scholarship Award – This award honors members of our CYFAMilya who generously share their personal experiences, enriching our community with their inspiring stories and fostering a deeper sense of connection and understanding.
