It was only last week of August that I learned about this scholarship when one of my classmates asked me -
Ate Grace nakapagpasa ka na ng requirements sa scholarship? I didnt know what she was talking about so I answered -
Anong scholarship? Anong requirements? She again answered,
-Yung kay Lani, deadline na ngayong Linggo. Oh I see,
"di na ko siguro abot dyan, wala pa akong requirements."
Then the next day, my kuya called me in our office, informing that there's a scholarship program near his area where he played tennis.
And so we went there the next morning but when I got there they were all holding some filed papers.
So I asked one student about it ,
"Anong mga requirements sa scholarship?"
He answered, scholarship form fully accomplished, voters certification, good moral, school ID, school registration and true copy of grades. Then he showed me the form, it is the same form showed to me by my classmate. I told myself,
"Sayang deadline na di ako umabot."
That day also, I met my classmate again and told me,
"Ate Grace, extended ngayong first week ng September ang submission ng requirements sa scholarship." . I was excited and replied to her,
"Talaga, asikasuhin ko na lang agad para makahabol." I badly needed any financial assistance for my studies since our company today is not doing well financially. So I message & requested my cousin who can file my voters certification in Taguig Cityhall, accomplished the scholarship form, and went to school earlier for other school requirements. Luckily I was able to file my scholarship on the last submission day.
Last Wednesday I received a letter confirming that my scholarship application was approved.
Both parent and student were required to attend a program @ Taguig City University auditorium for us to know the rules & by-laws of that scholarship program.
I wasn't really aware that the local goverment of Taguig has this kind of program and really amazed that they give emphasis on education of the future generations to uplift the lives of the Taguiguenos. And I was surprised that one of the introductory speaker is also my professor in TUP.
It was explained to us the rules and requirements and the equivalent amount allocated to each of us every year. The only request they asked was to study hard, be a good and honest citizen and help the city. And finally, at the end of the program our scholarship grant were distributed to us. I received P 7,500.00 scholarship grant and set aside 7k for my third semester tuition fee next year and P500 for my nanay
( talent fee daw nya,heheh... sobrang pagod din kasi nya that day).
Not that I am promoting or campaigning for the Cayetano's since Allan Cayetanos is running for vice president today but I have witnessed a lot of improvements in our area under his wife's administration in our city in addition to the other services and the scholarship program she is implementing. Senator Allan's performance in the senate for me is also outstanding. Their vision to raise the literacy of the people is clearly shown and a lot of students are now eager to study more.
And if your are a Taguiguenos and you are interested in this program, check their website:
"http://www.taguig.gov.ph/programs/scholarship/ "- From college tuition fees, to full scholarship, review assistance and even the masteral and doctoral degree are covered in this program for as long as you are a three year resident of Taguig you can apply for it.
Just sharing again!!!!
Have a wonderful day!!!
God Bless!!!
