Dallas, TX – April 3, 2026 — The Philippine Community Center International (PCCI) is calling for nominations for its 31st Academic Achievement & Community Service Awards, a prestigious program that recognizes graduating high school students of Filipino descent actively involved in Filipino-American endeavors.
Now in its 31st year, the program has been a cornerstone of community recognition since its establishment in 1995. It honors students not only for academic excellence but also for their dedication to volunteerism and community service, celebrating the shared values of family, perseverance, and civic engagement that define the Filipino-American experience.
“Honoring Achievement, Celebrating Family, and Inspiring the Next Generation—Because Together We Rise,” said PCCI representatives. The program emphasizes the important role of parents and families, acknowledging their guidance and support in helping students reach this milestone.
Interested parties may nominate deserving students by emailing admin@pccintx-international.org. The deadline for submissions is April 30, 2026.
The annual event is fully funded by the Mrs. Philippines of North Texas Charity and brings together the Filipino-American community to celebrate its youth and their accomplishments. Last year’s recipients included Phoebe Enriquez, Camren Cunanan, Aliyah Brown, and Adriel Concepcion, who were recognized for both their scholastic achievements and their community contributions.
