527 DOST-SEI scholarship slots granted
Last June 30, 2008 at Manila Hotel, the Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) awards scholarship grants to 527 qualified individuals for
Masters and PhD degrees.
DOST Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro said the government is very determined to establish a pool of science researchers, engineers and educators, with MS and PhD degrees in the country in the contract signing ceremony of the scholar-grantees.
Dr. Ester B. Ogena, Director of the DOST-SEI, said the qualified graduates underwent rigid selection, both by the screening committee and the DOST’s sectoral Councils.
“For the Philippines to be at par with our regional partners in terms of science and engineering we need more graduates taking up MS and PhD courses,” she added.
Under the Accelerated Science and Technology Human Resources Development Program and the Engineering Research and Development for Technology Program 521 applicants were qualified with 413 going to MS and 108 to PhD courses.
I was granted this scholarship program which enables me to pursue my MS at University of the Philippines – Diliman. This scholarship program of the Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) through PCASTRD covers actual tuition and school fees, monthly stipend of 12,000.00pesos, transportation allowance, book allowance, and thesis project budget of PHP30,000.00.
