 ABOUT FIL-GRAD

Filipino Graduation, also known as Fil-Grad, at San Francisco State University has become a beloved tradition within the community that grows out of rich history of the campus. FilGrad puts the spotlight on Filipinos who have reached the requirements to receive a degree at any level of higher education. Unlike any other commencement ceremony, FilGrad is put together by the graduates themselves and in turn is a journey. The bond between the students to reach this momentous day makes it an accomplishment on its own.

The rate of Filipino college graduates in the United States is far different from that of in the Philippines. Only half of those who enter as freshman at a university of higher education receive a college degree. Surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones, these students who participate in Fil-Grad are in turn thanking those around them for the help, support, love and inspiration they received in their lives.

This Sunday, May 20th, come celebrate the accomplishments of our students. They have worked so hard over the past few year. Let us show them the love and appreciation for the amazing achievements. Fil-Grad will take place in the Gymnasium at San Francisco State University. There is a map below to help you with getting through campus. The ceremony begins at 9am and will end at 11am. Graduates will arrive earlier for dress rehearsal. Doors open at 8am for those families who would like to get good seats. Please have your ticket ready when you enter. If you do not have one, please ask your graduate. There will also be a will call if necessary.

For any other questions, please ask your graduate. We will do our best to put as much information here.

See you at the Graduation!
