Soaring to New Heights: UB SHS Alumna Accepted to the Korea Aerospace University

The University of Baguio proudly congratulates Science High School alumna Ms. Foebe Jilianne Nerona for being accepted to the Korea Aerospace University (KAU) in South Korea. 

A leading institution specializing in aviation and aerospace studies, KAU is a premiere institution for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral studies in aerospace engineering, aviation management, and air transportation. The university’s specialization in the field of STEM aligns with Ms. Nerona’s background with UB, as she began her journey as a junior high school student and eventually completed two additional years of senior high with the UB Science High School. 

During her time at UB, she was a participant in the Korea-Philippines Youth Exchange Program hosted by the university in collaboration with the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) and the International Youth Council Korea. This opportunity gave her a chance to observe the educational system in the country and allowed her to form a network of connections that have helped her in her journey to apply for KAU.

“My six-year journey with the University of Baguio wasn’t just about conducting science experiments, solving equations, or writing research papers. It was where I found my voice, refined my skills, built my character, and laid the foundation for a lifetime of adventure.


The University’s curriculum was rigorous and diverse, pushing me to think critically, manage my time, stay focused, and strike a balance between collaboration and independence. The lectures, assignments, and projects I completed during high school didn’t just prepare me for the academic challenges I face today—they gave me the confidence to thrive.”

She is a brilliant example of the excellence that UB aims to instill within its students, embodying the core values of competence and integrity with pride.

As she continues on her academic journey, she serves as an inspiration to her peers and the students of the university, demonstrating the success that can be achieved with patience and hard work. Congratulations to Ms. Foebe Nerona, may you soar to even greater heights in the future!
