THE UNIVERSITY on Wednesday assured student-athletes that their scholarships would continue until December.
The Institute of Physical Education and Athletics (IPEA) released a statement quoting UST Rector Fr. Richard Ang O.P.’s earlier announcement that scholarships granted during the second semester of Academic Year (AY) 2019-2020 would be valid until the first term of the incoming AY 2020-2021, which ends in December.
“Therefore, there will be no athletes released from the scholarship grants given during the previous semester,” the IPEA statement read.
The IPEA statement came a day after the Varsitarian reported that at least 30 student-athletes were told they would lose their scholarships.
The Varsitarian had repeatedly tried to get IPEA’s side for the story, but did not get a response.
