DOST offers scholarships
to college students

The Department of Science and Technology in Negros Oriental is accepting applicants for this year’s Junior Level Science Scholarship, its press release said.

Regular third year college students presently enrolled in identified science and technology courses in Silliman University and Negros Oriental State University are urged to apply.

An applicant must have a general weighted average of 83 percent and has no failing grade in any subject; not a recipient of any other government or private scholarship; has no pending application for immigration abroad; physically and mentally healthy and morally upright; and a resident of any Negros Oriental city or town in the last four years, the press release said.

4Ps beneficiaries
urged to update status

The Department of Social Welfare and Development is calling on all Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program beneficiaries in Central Visayas to report any change in status, particularly transfer of residence, to avoid removal from the list, its press release said.

Aileen Lariba of the DSWD said they want to ensure that 4Ps beneficiaries receive the right amount of grant in line with their monthly compliance.

She said some families transfer residences without informing the program implementer, resulting in non-monitoring and non-payment of their grants.
