Hi Mr. Encelan,
Slots for ASTHRDP and PCASTRD scholarships are available every year. It would be best to contact the DOST [(632) 837-20-71 to 82] or the graduate office in the college of your choice in UP Diliman.

Hi,
I would like to ask for your opinion on which Scholarship grant is the best not only in terms of financial help but also the other things such as rendering service like the ones offered in the undergraduate scholarship of DOST. I am a Registered EE and an instructor at the same time. And are these scholarships availabe for the 2nd Sem?
Kindly email me with your response please.
Thanks and regards.
Hi Nikko,
Scholarships need someone like you as well! As I understand, you are currently connected with a private firm. Yes, definitely you can avail. It would be best to contact the university where you intend to enroll. But the scholarship you can most avail at the moment is the ERDT. The member universities in ERDT program include University of the Philippines Diliman, Ateneo de Manila University, Central Luzon State University, De La Salle University, Mapua Institute of Technology, Mindanao State University – IIT, and University of San Carlos.
Best of luck!
Hi Ms. Jane S. Malasador,
Schorlarships are available every year. Please contact the DOST or CHED or UP and the university where you intend to enroll. This post aims to inform you of the scholarship requirements.
Good luck and God bless!
Hi Admin,
As i’ve read, applicant must be a graduate in engineering or related field with
or without MS degree and must not be over 40 years old at the time of application. But i’m an undergraduate, so that means i’m disqualified?
Thanks!

Nikko
Hi Fatya,
Please see previous replies to earlier comments.
Hi Mark Anthony Baysa,
Please see replies to earlier comments. Good luck!
Hi Nikko,
The title of this post has particularly stated that this is for graduate studies, meaning for MS or PhD applicants or students. That explains why with or without MS degree is required. Thus, the scholarships posted here are not for your level as of the moment. Wait till you finish your BS degree before you could avail of these.
i had worked for a number of electronics and semiconductor companies in the past. currently, i am a faculty member of TIP. I am a registered Electronics Engineer but I will be turning 47 soon. I am applying for a slot at UP for MS in EE graduate program this second semester. What are the scholarships that I can avail of given my situation?
Thanks and Regards,
Felix
Sir/Ma’am Admin:
I would like to inquire if there is any scholarship that will still qualify my age. I am already 46 years old and a graduate of BS in Agricultural Engineering and planning to pursue Masters Degree the soonest possible time.
Thank you and more power. GOD Bless.
