Step 1: Check if You Qualify

Bago ka magsimula, siguraduhin mo na:

  • Filipino citizen ka
  • Nakapag-enroll ka o balak mag-enroll full-time sa CHED-recognized na college/university
  • Naabot mo yung academic standards (GPA, class rank, etc.)
  • Kailangan ng family mo ng financial assistance
  • Nasusunod mo lahat ng specific requirements ng scholarship na a-applyan mo

Remember: Bawat scholarship may sarili silang additional qualifications.

💡 Tip Ko lang sayo: Kahit medyo duda ka pa, apply ka pa rin kung kwalipikado ka sa karamihan ng requirements.

⚠️ Warning: ‘Wag hayaang ang doubt pumigil sa’yo, madalas kasi ito ang dahilan kung bakit nami-miss ang chance.

Step 2: Know the Benefits You’re Applying For

After knowing your general qualifications and bago ka mag collect ng mga requirements, be sure to check kung ano ang benefits of the specified scholarship na tinitignan mo, and here are the;

Common benefits of CHED scholarships:

  • Monthly allowance for books and school supplies
  • Sometimes, financial help for transport or living expenses
