TWO CSU DELEGATES SECURE PROJECT GRANTS AT ASIAN UNDERGRADUATE SYMPOSIUM

Two students from Cagayan State University (CSU) have been awarded the prestigious Asian Undergraduate Symposium (AUS) 2024 Seed Grant for their outstanding project proposals presented at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

The teams of Ms. Trixie Joy Gano, a BS Biology student, and Mr. Jaren Quegan, a BS Computer Science student, both from Cagayan State University - Carig Campus, were among the eight winning groups selected from universities across Asia. Their projects—“Carbon Sustain for Good (CS4G),” an integrated system for tracking carbon emissions in Malaysia, and “FINable: A Financial Literacy Card Game,” which aims to bridge financial education gaps for low-income youth—each received a seed grant of P220,000 for implementation.

The symposium, hosted by NUS, gathered over 1,200 students from 11 Asian countries. It provided a platform for cultural exchange, networking, and skill development. Participants worked closely with experts in their fields, honed their project proposal writing skills, and collaborated to tackle specific social and environmental challenges through innovative solutions.
