In a press release issued, it said the staggering
two-fold increase in the number of passers compared to last year’s statistics
was due to the various interventions
provided by DOST-IX.
The interventions include ensuring 100%
delivery/distribution of scholarship forms to all schools in the region;
reaching out to schools in municipalities
without applicants and qualifiers for the last 3 years; conduct of S&T
Scholarship Roadshow; conduct short review sessions based on the Test Battery
for S&T courses, among others.
The scholars are entitled to a monthly stipend
(variable, depending on the scholarship) in addition to tuition subsidy and
miscellaneous expenses of not more than six thousand pesos (P6,000) per
semester. The program will also provide uniform and transportation allowances
to the grantees.
In return, the scholars have to enroll in science
and technology courses such as engineering, natural and physical sciences or
other disciplines identified as priority courses under the program. Scholars
are also expected to maintain the highest standards of scholastic achievement
and behavior while in school.
Dir. Nazareth-Manzano said the scholars would be
properly notified for the orientation schedule and signing of the Scholarship
Agreement.
