The Outstanding Thomasian Alumni Awards

THE OUTSTANDING THOMASIAN ALUMNI (TOTAL) Award is the highest honor bestowed by the University of Santo Tomas (UST) and the UST Alumni Association, Inc. (USTAAI) upon the Thomasian Alumni, in recognition of their significant and exemplary contribution to the society and the Church.

The conferment of the TOTAL Award commenced in 1993 and continued as as an annual event until 2009, when the University and the UST Alumni Association, Inc. agreed to grant the Award every other year.
