The UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES ECONOMICS SOCIETY (UP ECOSOC) is a non-stock, non-profit organization, whose existence is hinged on its core belief - Service, Exellence and Tradition. Exemplifying its continued commitment to this thrust, UP Ecosoc engages itself on numerous socio-civic activities, most notable of there is the scholarship that it provides for the deserving high school students through the UP Ecosoc Scholarship Fund (UP ESSF).
The UP ECONOMICS SOCIETY traces its beginnings to September 1958, when a group of honor students in the College of Business Administration decided to form an organization geared towards the task of tapping and maximizing the potentials of Business Administration, Arts and Sciences students who took Economics as a minor field. They envisioned an erudite elite whose efforts were aimed towards service to the academe and to the community not only through academic excellence but also through socio-civic undertakings.
