SCHOLARSHIPS, & GRANTS FOR THE STUDENTS IN PHILIPPINES (SHARE it) Most of the FDW/OFW/HSW are working to support their family, study and career of their kids, siblings and relatives. A lot of FDW come from the provinces and lack the awareness about various scholarships that their kids and siblings can avail. I have tried to demystify this by collate all the information in one place. To be eligible for some of the scholarships, a student does not need to pass exams or maintain high grades or be exceptionally bright. Itis about awareness, and making effort to apply. This is our selfless contribution to the bright future of your kids, siblings and family. Please avail it. Securing funds for educational needs can be difficult. Thankfully, there are plenty of scholarship grants and educational assistance programs in the Philippines that aim to help students who are financially incapable of supporting themselves through college. If you have any further questions, directly contact the providers of these scholarships. DO NOT INBOX US. We are not the middleman, we can NOT provide further info. You are welcome to make comments, they will NOT be read by the providers of the scholarship, you must contact them directly ONE BY ONE. A. TYPE OF SCHOLARSHIPS A.1. Academic Scholarships There are the academic-based scholarship programs that help intelligent students who want to pursue a bachelor’s degree. This type of scholarship is usually offered by colleges and universities where they are awarded to incoming college freshmen who were high school Valedictorians, Salutatorians, or part of the upper ten or twenty percent of their graduating class. A number of government agencies, private companies, special academies, and private individuals also offer this type of scholarship. Aside from local scholarship programs, students who want to extend their reach beyond the Philippines can also apply for international scholarships sponsored by different foreign organizations and government agencies. A.2. Non-Academic Scholarships Persons, agencies, and organizations offering academic scholarships are quite abundant, but they also come along with strict grade requirements that you would need to meet in order to keep your scholarship. The good thing is this type of scholarship is just but one of the many scholarship programs available in the country and there are in fact plenty of programs that are more focused on rewarding talent than academic excellence. Examples of these are the athletic scholarships for students with remarkable athletic skills; cultural scholarships for talented singers, dancers, and actors; cadet scholarships for ROTC Corps Commanders; publication scholarships for editors of official school publications; scholarships for leaders of student councils; scholarships for traditional band members, and scholarships for campus beauty queens. Aside from those there are also special scholarships meant for specific groups of individuals such as those that target Overseas Filipino Workers and their beneficiaries provided by OWWA and those that are aimed at beneficiaries of former members of rebel groups. Other examples include transferable scholarships given by the MLM Network Marketing companies such as AIM GLOBAL, SWA, Royale, etc that do not require maintenance of good grades. A.3. Student Loans and Tuition Fee Subsidies The scholarships we already mentioned are wholly or partially subsidized by other groups or individuals provided that you meet certain requirements. If you do not meet a requirement or two, or you would prefer to shoulder the cost of your education yourself but do not have the necessary funds at hand, you can avail student loans that will lend you the money you need that can be paid at a later date. Alternatively, you can also get full or partial tuition fee subsidy by working as a Student Assistant for the college or university you are enrolled in. Depending on the school, this may require anything from organizing documents, addressing simple student concerns or running errands around the campus for department heads or other related personnel. NOTE: If you are applying to a university or college, also ask them for the list of scholarships available only to their students. Check out their website also. _______________________________________ B. FINDING SCHOLARSHIPS & GRANTS IN PHILIPPINES Finding scholarship grants is not as difficult as some people think. With a little internet research, you will have a decent list of options to choose from in no time. Here are some tips in searching scholarship grants online: 1. Unless you are looking for something highly specific, try to use simple keywords. The content of much of the hundreds of thousands of web pages out there were designed to be easily understood by the general public so using words or terms that are only familiar to a certain group of people may exclude relevant but differently worded content from the results. 2. Search for specific people, groups, or organizations that are likely to offer scholarship grants. These often include well-known charities, philanthropists, and large companies that have community outreach or Corporate Social Responsibility programs. Check their official websites for related information. 3. Scan the list of government agencies in your country or area then visit their official websites. Most of them offer different kinds of scholarship grants to poor but deserving students who want to go to college. 4. Scan the list of schools in your country or area then visit their official websites. You can usually find a list of the kinds of scholarships they offer as well as the requirements and procedure for applying somewhere on the site. 5. Check out the official websites of politicians in your area. They usually offer scholarship grants to deserving students either as mandated by the national government or through their personal funds. If they don’t have an official website, you can probably get in touch with the Press Relations Officer of the politician or the Press Relation agency of the local government for information. 6. A number of foreign organizations, schools, and government agencies give out international scholarship grants to deserving students, particularly those from developing countries. The United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and China are just some of the countries where such scholarship programs exist. _______________________________________ C.
