Scholarship grant from DOST

If your child is into science and technology, DOST has its grant to give. Here are the details

The Department of Science and Technology (DoST) is accepting applications from high school students seeking scholarships in science and technology (S&T) courses.

The Undergraduate Scholarship Programs of the DoST, implemented by the Science Education Institute (DoST-SEI), are offered yearly to deserving students who wish to pursue four or five-year courses in priority science and technology.

Scholarships Available
The department has two scholarship programs – the Merit Scholarships and the Republic Act No. 7687 or the Science and Technology Scholarship Act of 1994.

*RA 7687 S&T Scholarships – for applicants who belong to families with low socio-economic status
*DOST-SEI Merit Scholarships – for applicants regardless of their families socio-economic status, to pay a non-refundable fee of P200.00

Both programs aim to produce and develop high-quality human resources for the country’s Science and Technology (S&T) and Research Development (RD) efforts.

Applicants for the Merit Scholarship must belong to the upper five percent of the high school graduating class. The RA 7687, on the other hand, is open to poor but talented students also belonging to the top five percent of the high school graduating class. High school graduates who have not taken any college units may also apply. To date, more than 20,000 scholars have already graduated from the program.

Wiith the fast-paced advancement of technology and the increasing demands of globalization, there is a need to increase the pool of expertise in S&T. Through the S&T Scholarships, DoST-SEI helps contribute in providing human resources that will beef up attainment of the national R&D priority thrusts.
