The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Batangas has facilitated the application of students in the island municipality of Tingloy for the 2022 DOST- Science Education Institute (SEI) Undergraduate Scholarships.
The DOST-Batangas, in partnership with the local government of Tingloy, Batangas and Tingloy Senior High School, assisted the applicants as the deadline for the submission of application to the 2022 DOST-SEI Undergraduate S&T Scholarship Program has been extended until Dec. 31.
Eligible applicants in the island municipality were assisted in submitting and completing their scholarship applications at the DOST-SEI online application system. Scanning and consolidation of required documents and free ID picture taking were also part of assistance provided by the DOST-Batangas.
Juvie Ann Gabrieles, officer-in-charge for Tingloy Senior High School, thanked the DOST for their assistance, saying that the activity encouraged their students with promising potentials to apply for DOST-SEI Scholarships and embark on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers.
The DOST-Batangas said low turnout of applications every year prodded them to launch the activity.
"For the past years, DOST Batangas has been persistent in encouraging students from the municipality of Tingloy to send their applications for DOST-SEI Scholarship programs and get the chance to enjoy its benefits. However, a very few applications are received every year — the reason why DOST Batangas initiated to assist the eligible applicants of the municipality.”
The activity serves as one of DOST Batangas’ support interventions to the municipality of Tingloy for being identified as one of DOST Calabarzon’s Community Empowerment thru Science & Technology (CEST) sites.
The DOST-SEI announced on Nov. 24, that it is still accepting applications for the 2022 Undergraduate Scholarships until Dec. 31.
