I'm from the Philippines, and I'll be starting college soon. I'm looking for any available scholarships for incoming students here. Can someone point me in the direction of resources or organizations that help with this?
Absolutely, there are several scholarships available for incoming college students in the Philippines. You can start by checking with the college or university you will be attending, as many schools offer their own scholarships based on academic merit, financial need, or a combination of both. In addition to these institutional scholarships, many government bodies such as the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) offer scholarships, grants, and student loans.
In addition to these, there are several private organizations that provide scholarships. For example, the SM Foundation provides college scholarships to economically disadvantaged youth with good academic records. The Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) also grants scholarships to children or descendants of Filipino World War II veterans.
Moreover, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) offers scholarships for those pursuing degrees in the science and technology fields.
Just remember that each scholarship has its own eligibility requirements and application process so it's important to read the guidelines thoroughly before applying. Good luck with your scholarship search!
