The Ateneo Alumni Association, Inc. (AAA) was registered with the SEC as a non-stock, non-profit organization on October 2, 1952. It was established primarily to unite the alumni of Ateneo de Manila University into an organization to keep alive the Christian principles and patriotic ideals fostered in and imbibed from the said institution; to help poor but deserving students; and to establish scholarship funds and such other funds as may be in keeping with the ideals of furthering the religious and education principles and charitable objectives of the University. Assistance is also provided to indigent alumni and their families.
Inspired by the Ignatian vision of leaders whose excellence is dedicated for the greater glory of God, AAA seeks to form a vibrant, thriving community of the Ateneo alumni through its programs for social involvement, and membership development to help institute change in the world, as Light in the Lord.
