The deadline is extended until October 9, 2009, for the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) scholarship application.
The scholarship is open to graduating high school students with high aptitude in science and technology and who wish to pursue priority fields of study in basic sciences, engineering and other applied sciences and science teaching.
There are two (2) scholarship programs being offered: one is RA 7687, or the S&T Scholarship Act of 1994, which is awarded to talented and deserving students coming from poor families. The other scholarship program, called DOST-SEI Merit Scholarship is granted to students with high aptitude in science, mathematics and technology regardless of the family’s socio-economic status.
