Executive Committee
History The organization was established as State Colleges Athletic Association (SCAA) in 1953 encompassing the Philippine Normal College, Central Luzon Agricultural College, the Philippine College of Commerce , and the Philippine College of Arts and Trade .
Despite many years of challenges in the forefront, SCUAA was able to gain ground in various regions in the country through the creation of regional or satellite SCUAA, hence the establishment of a National SCUAA in the mid-1980s. Two years after, the first National SCUAA Olympics was held with member state colleges and universities from Regions I, IV, V, VIII, and NCR participating.
Conferences
National Capital Region RTU is expected to host the 35th Season of SCUAA-NCR in November 2025.
Ilocos Region The SCUAA-I Conference is composed of the six State Universities and Colleges in the Ilocos Region. It also included the SUCs in what is now the Cordillera Administrative Region (when it was still part of Region I).
The latest season of the SCUAA-I Conference was held at the Pangasinan State University.
