A total of 38 Cagayan State University students received financial assistance today under the Adopt-a-CSU Student Program for the Second Semester of AY 2025–2026, a flagship initiative of the University implemented through the partnership of Cagayan State University, the CSU Federated Alumni Association and the CSU Andrews Campus Alumni Association.

Recipients were selected based on their General Weighted Average and financial need through a Selection Committee composed of representatives from the University and its alumni partners.

Financial assistance was distributed as follows:

* White Tier – ₱2,000 (25 students)

* Blue Tier – ₱5,000 (7 students)

* Green Tier – ₱2,500 (5 students)

* Platinum Tier – ₱15,000 (1 student)

The Board-approved program, proposed by Dr. Ana Marie Cristina C. Cauilan, Vice President for Internationalization, Partnerships and Resource Mobilization, was officially launched through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement on September 3, 2025 by Cagayan State University, the CSU Federated Alumni Association, and the CSU Andrews Campus Alumni Association.

To date, the Adopt-a-CSU Student Program has mobilized approximately ₱361,500 in donations across participating campuses, enabling more students to continue their education despite financial challenges.

The initiative directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) by expanding access to higher education, SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) by providing assistance to financially disadvantaged but deserving students, and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) by fostering collaboration among the University, alumni, and private donors.

It is likewise responsive to the CHED ACHIEVE Agenda, particularly its thrusts on equity and access, student welfare and success, stakeholder engagement and sustainable resource mobilization for quality higher education.

Officer-In-Charge University President Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez expressed his sincere gratitude to the generous alumni and benefactors whose unwavering support continues to transform students’ lives.

In recognition of the donors’ invaluable contributions, the University will confer a Special Recognition for Outstanding Donors during a recognition program.

The Call for Donors for the First Semester of AY 2026–2027 will officially commence this August. Alumni, partners, organizations, and friends of Cagayan State University are encouraged to participate in this meaningful initiative and help empower more deserving CSU students through education.
