The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) now accepts
application for 2013 Undergraduate Science Scholarship.
About 4,000 scholarship slots are to be awarded nationwide.
Qualified to apply are natural-born Filipino citizens who belong to the upper

the graduating class of any DOST-identified or DepEd-recognized science high
school, a resident of the municipality/district for the last four years, have
not yet earned units in any post-secondary/undergraduate course, have not

examination, of good-moral character, of good health and must have no pending
application for resident or immigrant status in any foreign country.
Interested applicants can apply for the scholarship grant in either of the two
categories: Program A, also known as Republic Act 7687 which is designed for
financially incapable, but intelligent students whose family’s combined gross
annual income does not amount to more than P156, 600. Students with a higher
combined family income, on the other hand, can apply under Program B (Merit
Scholarship).
