THE DEPARTMENT of Science and Technology (DOST) recently announced the 33 beneficiaries of the Grants for Educational Assistance on Technology and Science Teaching Courses in Mindanao (GREAT-M) Project, which provides college scholarships to poor but deserving high school students in Muslim communities.
The annual GREAT-M Project was created to address the problem of poverty among Filipino Muslim and indigenous communities.
The new batch of GREAT-M beneficiaries were selected from the pool of high school graduates belonging to the upper five percent of the graduating class who took the Science and Technology Scholarship Examination administered by the DOST's Science and Education Institute (SEI) last December 2006.
The qualifying students are from Basilan, Sulu, Maguindanao, Lanao del Norte Lanao del Sur, Tawi-Tawi and South Cotabato.
DOST-SEI Director Ester Ogena said nine examinees have qualified to enroll in courses related to physics, chemistry, mathematics and teaching courses. Another 24 have qualified for the technician courses on automotive, computer and information technology, electronics, electrical and industrial automation.
The names of the 2007 GREAT-M Project qualifiers are available online at the DOST-SEI scholarship website.
The recipients will be taking their courses in identified universities in Mindanao.
The students will be entitled to receive tuition and other school fees, book and transportation allowances, monthly stipend, group health and accident insurance, and provision for consumables for the technician qualifiers.

ASSALAMALAKUM
please inform me more about dost science scholarship. i m a student of bangladesh.studying in university.my subject is microbiology.
To my muslim brothers,
I am a Filipino christian, I just want to inform you that DOST scholarship is offered only for Filipinos whether muslims or christians, as far as I know.
However, if you want international scholarship, you may visit your Japanese embassy and inquire about Mombusho Scholarship. I was once a scholar of this organization and I have met a lot of foreign students from Ghana, Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, Burma, S. Africa, Nigeria, Malaysia, etc. Though the competition is quite stiff, you may try it.
Good luck and God bless.

DOST deserve appreciation for many of it's works which strives for social responsibilities. The Muslim students should strive harder and take up this opportunity to explore their dreams and learn more. DOST has always been innovative in it's inventions and others too should think about how Dost is trying to develop the country and help the people as well.
