University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts, Cruz won the
2008 Ateneo Award Arts which granted her residency in Australia.

Tapaya, with his flair for painting the whimsical, was given an opportunity to study at two notable schools, one in New
York, the other at Finland, due to him winning the Nokia Art Awards.
