Congratulations, Aldrean! This September, 18-year-old Aldrean Paul Alogon will be enrolling as the only Filipino recipient of the Freeman Asian Scholarship in Wesleyan University, USA.

The program only benefits eleven “exceptionally able” students annually, each one coming from select countries in Asia. It provides expenses for a four-year course of study towards a bachelor’s degree, including the scholars’ yearly tuition.

Pursuing two majors at once, both of them equally difficult, may be an ambitious feat. But Aldrean has been a gifted student ever since his elementary school days, as shared by his former teacher and class adviser, Florence Azarcon.Buot pa gid siya na bata, mahugod gid. Studious na siya, friendly man, obedient na siya na bata na more on the sciences gid.HARD AT WORK.

Most prestigious of the contests he joined was the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics, which he entered in 2016 and 2017. While he lost both times, he found many wins in various national and internationalBecause the school pays for all of its contestants , Aldrean was free to take advantage of all these opportunities at no burden to his family.
