State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association-Philippines
SUC Olympic III - Central Luzon
The State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) is one of the inter-collegiate sports associations in the Philippines closely related to UAAP, is the union of six major state colleges and universities in Metro Manila.
The organization was established as the State Colleges Athletic Association (SCAA) in 1953 encompassing the Philippine Normal College (now Philippine Normal University or PNU), Central Luzon Agricultural College (CLAC), (now Central Luzon State University or CLSU), and the Philippine College of Commerce (now Polytechnic University of the Philippines or PUP).
SCAA saw itself transformed into SCUAA in the 1970s when PCC and the Philippine College of Arts and Trades (now Technological University of the Philippines or TUP) a member school since 1959, converted into a university.
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 was held with member state colleges and universities from Regions I, IV, V, VIII, and NCR participating.
