IN A BID to strenghten research in the humanities, UST has established an annual research grant through an endowment from the family of the late businessman Antonio Cabangon Chua.
The UST Research and Endowment Foundation, Inc. signed last Feb. 26 an agreement with the Cabangon Chua family and the ALC Group of Companies to formally establish the UST-Ambassador Antonio L. Cabangon Chua Research Award for the Humanities.
The UST Department of Literature will accept submissions for the research award until June 7 this year. Two researchers will be given the award every year.
Submissions must involve a biography and a detailed documentation of a Thomasian artist who had contributed to the improvement of Filipino arts and culture.
An incentive of P150,000 will be given to each recipient of the award. A recipient must finish the research within a year under the supervision of a senior scholar or specialist on arts and culture.
Upon completion of their research, recipients must present their final outputs in a public lecture in the University.
