History
The organization was established as the State Colleges Athletic Association (SCAA) in 1953 encompassing the Philippine Normal College, Central Luzon Agricultural College, the Philippine College of Commerce, and the Rizal Technological Colleges.
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.
SCUAA stages numerous events such as basketball, volleyball, swimming, cheerleading, athletics, arnis, boxing, field demonstration, dance sports among others.
Numbers of notable national athletes are product of SCUAA.
The 26th Season of SCUAA-National was hosted by Jose Rizal Memorial State University held in February 16, 2013.
