AEF's mission is to empower aspiring engineering students to reach their full potential through advancing engineering excellence, improving access to technological resources, and fostering a community that celebrates their Filipino- American cultural heritage, academic achievement, grit and resilience.
Established in 2021, the Founders and Executive Officers of AFEW have shared a common vision to setup a 501c3 non-profit arm that would pave the way for a more effective means to raise funds and provide financial assistance to our scholars. With the official incorporation of AFEW Educational Fund (AEF) in 2021, this vision has become a reality. AEF’s generous donors may now provide financial help for our scholars and have the benefit of having their donated money be tax-deductible. As AEF continues to grow, its primary commitment is to provide scholarship assistance to deserving engineering students in Washington State and the Philippines.
In the recent years following its incorporation, AEF has celebrated the hard work and high academic achievement of a select number of aspiring engineering students residing in the state of Washington. Encompassing a deep appreciation and pride in their Filipino- American cultural heritage and identity, these students are given recognition during the annual AFEW Gala event while among Filipino- American Engineering professionals and peers.
Do you want to make a real difference in the world through engineering while celebrating your Filipino-American heritage? AFEW Educational Fund (AEF) is thrilled to announce our annual Scholarship Program, designed to empower the next generation of Filipino-American engineering leaders and innovators!
