The STI Student of the Year 2012 Search Begins!

March 28, 2012

STI brings together all the best students across its nationwide network to search for this year’s STI Student of the Year (STI SOY). The STI SOY Awards has continually recognized outstanding STI students who have excelled in their program of study, exemplified effective leadership qualities, and gained remarkable achievements in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities within and outside the STI academic community.

Nominees pursuing baccalaureate and pre-baccalaureate programs will be screened separately through a rigorous selection process beginning in the School Level, advancing to the Area Level, up to the National Level.

Nominations are now being accepted for the STI SOY 2012 Awards. To qualify, a nominee must be a bona fide graduating student of STI currently enrolled in a baccalaureate or pre-baccalaureate program. He/she must have earned at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total curriculum units in any STI school without a failing grade in any course or module, and a General Weighted Average (GWA) of at least 1.50 with no minor or major offense during his/her entire stay at STI.
