How to find international scholarships for Filipino students?

I'm a Filipino junior looking to study abroad, hopefully without too much cost. Do you guys know of any good international scholarships that Filipino students can apply for? Any current scholarships that I should keep a look out for?

Sure, there are some resources and scholarships that are specifically designed for International students, including those from the Philippines. Here are a few you may want to consider:

1. Fulbright Scholarships for International Students: This is a highly esteemed, US government-sponsored program which offers scholarships to students from over 160 countries around the world, including the Philippines.

2. AAUW International Fellowships for Women: While this is not specific to Filipinos, it is applicable for women from various countries, including the Philippines. The American Association of University Women provides fellowships for full-time study or research in the United States to exceptional women.

3. The Rotary Foundation Global Study Grants: These are awarded to graduate students studying abroad in any field, but priority is given to applicants who align with the Rotary Foundation's mission to improve peace, fight disease, provide clean water and sanitation, support education, or grow local economies.

4. Asian Development Bank-Japan Scholarship Program (ADB-JSP): This scholarship is available to citizens of ABD's borrowing member countries. It supports students with a major related to economics, management, science and technology, and other development-related fields.

Bear in mind, these scholarships are highly competitive given their global and open nature. It's also recommended to look for financial aid or scholarships provided directly by the universities you're interested in - many universities offer aid based on either academic merit or need.

Additionally, you can use scholarship search platforms to find more opportunities. Websites like Appily let you filter your search to match your specific circumstances - you can search under the criteria for country, field of study, etc.

Also, make sure to start looking and applying for these scholarships early. Many of them have deadlines that fall well in advance of the academic year they're for. Good luck!
