DOST Scholarship 2021 results: List of qualifiers
DOST Scholarship 2021 result is now available. The DOST-SEI did not conduct the national scholarship qualifying examination in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Institute employed data analytics and proxy indicators in place of the exam to identify qualifiers. Documentary requirements were collected through the agency’s E-Scholarship Application System beginning June 2020. These documents, including the students’ grades in Grades 9-11, which were obtained and verified from their respective schools, were evaluated.
3,815 students qualified under the RA 7687 program—scholarships for academically gifted students from economically disadvantaged families—and 4,252 students qualified under the Merit program.
They will receive notice of award sometime in September courtesy of DOST-SEI or the concerned DOST Regional Offices. In the list, 2,042 names were marked with one asterisk implying some lacking documents; while some names were withheld pending completion and evaluation of requirements. DOST-SEI will notify them to complete their requirements.
