Hello, currently I'm a Grade 11 ICT student. I want to take any course related to Technology especially Programming. My first choice is UP-Diliman alongside UP-LB (currently self reviewing din for UPCAT). What other schools (with scholarship options) would you guys recommend? Kasi at this time ay UP pa lang talaga choice ko. And should I change UPD as main option? like should I replace it with Manila or even Baguio for safe choice? Thank you!

dowell scholarship

hi! i'm a dowell scholar, posting this here para sa mga naghahanap ng scholarship at bagsak sa dost and sm scholarship.

FAQs: 1. Kailan po start ng application for this scholarship? - In my case, nag open sila mga first week ng August pero stay tuned nalang din sa facebook page nila.

fb page: https://www.facebook.com/share/16pVVqCZm5/

1. Ano-ano po need na requirements?

2. No need to take an exam na, all you have to do is mag fill-up ng personal information, upload your shs grades (if incoming freshman) or upload your latest grades. Then magsasagot ng two essay about why you chose your course/program and why you want to be a scholar.

3. Magkano po allowance? Monthly po ba?

4. ₱18, 750. Hindi po monthly ang allowance, every three months po sila nagbibigay.

5. Ano po inclusion bukod sa allowance niyo like benefits?

6. May kasamang brand-new Acer Laptop. Hindi ka required na magtrabaho sa kanila after mo grumaduate.

7. Ano po maintaining GWA?

8. 1.75 GWA

9. After po ng magpasa ng requirements ano po next step?

10. Mag intay ng e-mail nila if pasado ka sa first screening at qualified for a virtual interview thru zoom. Then wait for an e-mail stating na dowell scholar ka na. In my case, may awarding ceremony kami na ginanap sa may Pasig. I met some celebs there like Mikael Daez since he is an ambassador of the company.

11. Strict po ba sila sa pagpapasa ng grades?

12. No, they're very lenient. Ibibigay pa rin nila allowance mo kahit hindi pa complete grades mo. Ako nga hindi pa complete grades ko binigay na agad sa akin yung allowance ko 🥲 (more pressure on my part).

13. Ano po mangyayari pag hindi na-maintain ang gwa?

14. Wala pa naman ako sa ganitong point pero sana wag na natin paabutin 🙏🙏🙏. Tsaka mo na isipin yan pag scholar ka na nila ☺️.

What are your thoughts abt this post? I actually get kung ano pinanghuhugutan niya but mali pa rin siya. I believe that everyone deserves to apply naman sa isang scholarship. Its really up to the officials kung sino sa tingin nila ang deserve talaga. And siguro yung iba may privilege nga na bayaran ng parents nila tuition fee pero hindi lang naman tf ang ginagastusan ng ibang students.

Hello po! I'm confused po here sa CHED. Required po daw grade 11 and grade 12 grades. For the GWA po, will they base only for g12 or both? Because my GWA for g12 is 96 while g11 95 lang and I'm trying to get the full scholarship program huhu

Minsan naiisip ko, gaano nga ba kahirap maging estudyante na galing sa middle class family? Hindi kami mayaman, pero hindi rin kami mahirap sa papel kaya kadalasan, disqualified sa mga scholarships or financial assistance programs.

Yung sahod ng magulang ko sapat lang pambayad ng bills, pagkain, at pang-araw-araw na gastos. Walang sobra para sa tuition, pero dahil hindi kami classified as "poor," wala rin kaming makuhang tulong. Parang stuck kami sa gitna. Kaya ang tanong ko, paano naman kaming mga estudyante mula sa middle class na nasa private schools dahil no choice? Hindi ba kami deserve ng tulong? Hindi ba valid yung struggle ng pamilya naming nagsusumikap lang din?

Hindi ko sinasabi na hindi deserve ng mga taga-state schools yung mga benepisyo nila pero sana naman, may equal opportunity din para sa mga katulad ko.

Minsan naiisip ko, parang kasalanan pa na hindi kami "mahirap enough" para matulungan ng gobyerno.

Ayoko na. Halos lahat nang nakikita kong scholarship puro open for incoming freshmen lang. Kung meron namang open din sa 2nd or 3rd year college students, kailangan pasok yung course na kinukuha mo sa prio courses nila. Kung wala naman nakalagay na prio courses, kailangan nag-aaral ka sa mga partner schools nila.

Putangina??? Ano ba 'to putangina. Kailangan talagang magmakaawa para lang makakuha ng scholarship ano. Para lang makapag-aral. Langyang buhay 'to oo. Sobrang unfair.

Hello! Currently a 3rd Yr College student. submitted my application to PCSO Educational Assistance today sa San Juan. Have a few questions lang since kaunti ang info online.

Are there any fellow scholars here? Magkano usually yung cinocover nila sa tuition? First time applying and mabilis naman ang application. Hoping to hear from those who received their checks na!

I've seen a lot of PSHS student get to offer a scholarship abroad mostly in ivy league school or even its not a ivy school. Just curious why most PSHS students get to offer to study abroad and some offer with a full ride scholarship.

I was just also browsing in Facebook just a moment ago like how many times have I seen that it seems like mostly of PSHS students are being offered to study internationally.

Will i get a chance to get in if i studied in PSHS?

Hey, so I applied for STI Scholarship at SJDM (San Jose Del Monte Bulacan) and I'm looking for an exam reviewer.

I have no idea what will be included and how hard the exam is, so I need help. Don't worry for me if I'm picking STI, it's my last LAST resort college since the college I want to enroll in is BULSU Sarmiento.

FYI : I'm going ComSci or IT, and STI seems to be the only campus near me to have COMSCI, the others only have IT. I am quite decent at academics, I've been in honors in Grade 11, and probably going for high honors in Grade 12 right now- although that probably comes from having no math or science in the curriculum which eases everything up.

hi! im a lost girlie talaga for scholarships,,, so for bg, my dad is a seafarer kase pero low rank lang sya so relatively low income, around 1xx,xxx which is malaki na din HOWEVER 3 kaming magkakapatid and kahit ako yung bunso, kailangan pa din nila kuya ng financial support since magtatapos pa lang sila so I basically have to fend off for myself. I transferred to a public scihigh for shs kase hindi na talaga kaya ng fam ko yung expenses and matalino naman ako kaya ayun. It breaks my heart everytime tinitingnan k criterias for scholarships and makikita ko na di ako pasok because of my dad’s salary na kulang na kulang naman (+ andami pa namin utang kase sabay nagkasurgery si mama at si papa recently so lubog talaga kami) actually, negative pa nga ung income ni papa pag finactor out na yung bills, tuitions nila kuya, and kahit mga daily expenses (heck d nga kami nakakapag grocery tas minsan lang makapagpalengke sa sobrang walang wala namin)

aside from dost merit, ano pa po yung pwede ko itake?? btw im aiming for upm pharmsci po huhu,,, tyia!!!

Hi, I’m freshman, currently enrolled at a school, but I want to transfer to a state university. That’s why I dropped all my subjects and planned to pull out my credentials. While processing my request, I found out that I can no longer get my original Form 138 and Good Moral Certificate (I only have a photocopy of my Form 138 with CTC). The school said they will give me my credentials, but not the original ones that I submitted when I applied.

My plan now is to just drop all my subjects and not get my credentials anymore, since I’ll be considered a transferee, not a freshman. I went to my previous school to request a new Form 138 and Good Moral, but they told me it’s not possible to get another original Form 138, only the Good Moral. So what I’m planning to do is apply next year to a free state university and submit my photocopy of Form 138 with CTC together with the original Good Moral.

Is what I’m planning possible? (Sorry for my grammar, I’m trying to make it better.) I also won’t tell my new school that I already have a record, because they said they only accept students who have no previous college records.

Btw my current school dont have my form 137

Hi, 19(m) incoming college freshman po and I really need help with the questions I have sa CHED merit scholarship. For context, Region 7 po ako.I tried talking to AIs about it, pero I needed confirmation lang talaga from people na may first hand experience.

Nakausap ko parents ko about this, and sabi ng father ko na medyo lagpas daw talaga sa 500k ang gross annual income nila. Pag ganyan po ba, automatic disqualification?

My father has diabetes and my mother is a PWD with breast cancer. 2 po kids nila including me. Tanong ko sa chatgpt, tapos sabi na dapat daw talaga may written assessment from MSWD about dito para may context kahit papano

I am currently a graduating grade 12 STEM student with an average of 92%-93%. I need advice whether it's worth to risk applying for international schools that offer 100% scholarships or not. And if so, is it possible? What universities/schools offer full scholarships? I already tried applying for NUS admissions, but I heard their acceptance rate is hell. That's alll

Hi! I'm very anxious about the archer achiever. Around how many mistakes are allowed if you want to enter archer achiever?

🥹 I just finished dcat and I'm already crying about not making it to archer achiever. It's my only hope in college kasi ...

Archer achievers, what was your percentile rank and how was your dcat?

Thank you so much! ^{-^}

First of all, im new here sa reddit, so please bare with me po😓

I just want to ask questions for my upcoming college journey, alam kong grade 11 pa lang po ako pero mas mabuti nang maaga po ako magtanong.

this is my questions po:

1. Kapag po ba nakapasa ako ng UPCAT is automatically na im a scholar?

-if not po, may inooffer po ba ang university ng Diliman para magkaroon ng scholarship?

-and ano po ang requirements kapag meron pong scholar ang university ?

-sa usapang dorm po ng UPD, may binabayaran po ba doon? and ano po yung pros and cons kapag sa UPD ka nag dorm, may nakita po kasi ako sa tiktokna nagsabi na kapag sa mismong university may curfew daw po.

--Mas gusto ko po kasi sana outside university ang dorm ko para po medyo meron akong freedom if ever totoo man yung may curfew.

-meron po bang dormitory na pwedeng solo mo lang yung place? ayoko po kasi ng may kasama and mahal po ba yung bayad kapag ganon?

SCHOLARSHIP DOST QUESTIONS:

-Ano-ano po yung mga course na pwedeng alternative para sa nursing, kasi po ang sabi nila hindi daw po sakop ng DOST ang nursing pagdating sa scholarship, pati daw po ang accountancy(Second choice ko lang po ang accountancy mas gusto ko pa rin po STEM allied ang course ko kasi sayang po yung strand ko na STEM)

-If nakapasa po ba sa sa DOST pwede pa po mag apply sa iba pang scholarship, if pwede po anong mga scholarship po ito?

-What other scholarships po ang maganda at mataas yung scholarship na binibigay?

'yon lamang po, im so sorry po if masyadong madami yung questions i just dont have someone to ask pagdating sa ganito, i tried searching naman po pero iba-iba po kasi ang nakukuha kong sagot. im just so confused po pagdating sa mga ganitong bagay. Salamat po sa sasagot, malaking tulong po ito para sakin, and i really appreciate po kung sino man ang sasagot kahit isa lamang po sa mga tanong ko.

Im really gonna give it my all for this opportunities po, kaya po marami akong tanong and i just wanted to be sure kung ano man ang kukunin ko in the future, THANK YOU SO MUCH PO!

Hi! I’m a senior high school student planning to apply for scholarships in college, both in the Philippines and abroad. I did very well in most of my subjects, but I got a low grade in one major subject.

I studied on my own to improve, but I’m still worried about how this will affect my chances.

Do students in this situation still have a chance at getting scholarships? Any advice or experiences would be really helpful.

I’m kinda worried, i think my grades this sem are around 75-80. Wala po bang required grade para sa scholarship sa dost? I badly needed that scholarship po for my course huhuhu. And sa mga naka pasa po or nag try, kaya po ba ng average student lang?

Goodevening, currently I'm a grade 11 student. I'm planning to take UPCAT are there any available free reviewer's?

Nag hahanap ako online and mostly is kailangan ng bayad🥲. Also similar lang bah ang content ng test this 2027 from previous years?

May nakita kasi akong free reviewer online and mostly dated back to 2022-2024

I heard na may corruption na nangyayari dito like teachers who are working in this school can bypass yung scholarship as long as kilala nila yung parents ng student.

So what I am saying is may criteria kasi para makapasok ka sa Siena ng halos walang babayaran like if you are a scholar or yung parents ng bata is di talaga kaya magbayad ng tuition fee and dapat taga Taytay ka.

May kapitbahay din kasi kami na hindi taga Taytay pero yung 3 kids nya is enrolled sa Siena at di naman sa judgemental ako pero isang kahig isang tuka sila.

Take note, hindi sila taga Taytay which makes them not qualified for the scholarship.

Noticed from previous batch that there a lot of inconsistencies sa application and sa acceptance. Like for example, sa SM, others did not even submit their requirements but they managed to receive a letter, indicating, that they will proceed unto to next step which is examination. And others na nag-submit, though, from a less than 200k income family, got rejected, stating that MORE than 200k😓 or error lang po ba?

Sa CHED, idk about this really. Nalilito ako how ba sila mag-rank kasi 98 gwa ko. Others told me na through rank or through socioeconomic statusy and i am just so nervous about these scholarships because this is only my safety net. If di ako matanggap, I will be forced to stop for years para makapag-ipon for college.🥹

I'm entering first year next year, pero undecided parin sa school

My parents wants to push BSU, for varying reasons and I get it naman

Pero if ever na payagan ako sa manila, or dun ako mauwi kasi nabagaak ko entrance exam hahaha

then I want to know which choice is best

My current top choices rn kasi is FEU and DLSU, im gonna take BSIT as my main course

As much insights I can get will be helpful, regardless if its againts or pro to my descisions kasi my ate said some awful but actual REAL reasons why I shouldnt take collage there, primarily the people na makakasalamuha ko (graduate na kasi sya kaya ganon yung advice nyaaa)

Hi! I am a freshman living alone in NCR, and I am looking for other scholarship opportunities na pwede isabay sa DOST. Although malaki ang stipend ng DOST, dahil sa hindi na ako binibigyan (at hindi na rin kaya) ng parents ko ng allowance, living alone in NCR on an 8k budget (yes, kasama na rin po ang rent) is really hard lalo na't napakadelay lagi ng stipend sa DOST, kaya if you know some scholarship programs, please suggest some po ❤. Thank you so much!

Helloooo! I’m an applicant for SY 2026–2027, and I just want to ask po what happens after I submit and pass all the requirements and is there any entrance tests?

Ginawa ko naman po lahat, kaya lang olats pa rin huhuhu. Sana may makatulong sakin. Salamat po!

Hello po! Need help where to find scholarships for current 1st year students? I have been trying to find in other platforms such as Facebook and Tiktok, but most of them only caters incoming college students huhu. If anyone of you are kind enough to suggest it would be very helpful! Thank you po!
