This guide explains the 2026 eligibility, requirements, online application process and official results links. Check DOST-SEI for future application announcements.
2026 application status
The 2026 DOST-SEI Junior Level Science Scholarships (JLSS) application period has closed. Applications opened April 17, 2026 and closed May 15, 2026. The 2026 qualifiers have already been announced. Do not submit documents to unofficial sites or pay anyone to secure a scholarship.
What is DOST JLSS?
The Junior Level Science Scholarships program supports qualified students pursuing priority science and technology degree programs during their third year of college. Its scholarship categories include RA 7687, Merit, and RA 10612. It is different from the DOST undergraduate scholarship intended for incoming first-year college students.
2026 JLSS schedule
Applications opened: April 17, 2026. Application deadline: May 15, 2026. Originally scheduled examination: June 28, 2026. DOST-SEI reports that examinations took place June 28 and July 5, 2026. The 2026 official qualifiers list is now available.
Who was eligible for JLSS 2026?
Applicants needed to be regular second-year college students in the second semester/term of AY 2025–2026 enrolled in an eligible DOST-SEI priority science and technology course and institution; natural-born Filipino citizens; of good moral character and in good health; and have a general weighted average of at least 83% (or equivalent) without conditional or failing marks during the specified assessment period. The official portal explains the rules for previous DOST scholarship applicants and those who qualified but did not avail of an award. Eligibility and school accreditation requirements depend on the scholarship category.
Documents required for the 2026 application
The official portal lists Forms C (good moral character), D (good health), E and E1 (program of study/year level), F (residency), G1 or G2 (return-of-service commitment), H (scholarship examination/award), and I (signed declaration). Other requirements include signed grade records, a recent prescribed passport-size photograph, birth certificate, appropriate proof of household income, and, where applicable, school accreditation details, a guardianship affidavit, or marriage certificate. Applicants had to use the correct year-specific forms, complete required signatures, and upload readable files. See the official portal for the full checklist and original forms.
How the online JLSS application worked
1. Read the eligibility rules and verify your course and school on the official JLSS portal. 2. Prepare the official forms and supporting documents. 3. Register with a secure personal email address and working mobile number. 4. Complete the online application accurately and upload clear, signed files to the appropriate fields. 5. Review submissions and follow official email notices for the test permit and next steps. This describes the closed 2026 cycle, not an open application.

Scholarship benefits and service obligations
