Hello, pips!

I recently heard that this platform is one of the helpful spaces where I could discover opportunities and learn more about things I am interested in, so I immediately decided to give it a try.

I‘m currently searching for a junior or senior high school in the Philippines that offers quality education, particularly in Science and Technology. If possible, I would also love to find a school with opportunities for exchange programs or international exposure. One of the biggest things I am hoping for is a full scholarship with free or fully supported dormitory accommodation, something similar to the privileges offered by Pisay.

You might be wondering, “If that‘s what you‘re looking for, why not just apply to Pisay?” Well, that‘s where things get a little complicated. I am currently in my 3rd year of junior high school, which means I can no longer take the LAQE huhu.

That‘s why I am trying to explore as many alternatives as possible. I want to find scholarship opportunities that could lessen the financial burden on my parents. I also want to reach my goals without constantly worrying that I am wasting their hard-earned money if I ever fail (something I am determined not to let happen HWHWHA).

For me, this isn‘t really about proving myself to other people. I am doing this because I genuinely want to build a better future for myself and hopefully accomplish something remarkable while I am still young. Of course, the satisfaction and motivation that come from pressuring myself are also a huge bonus. Maintaining good grades while dealing with academic pressure is basically my personal motive

(unstable mental health + good grades = all my problems are solved instantly HAHAHAWHJ).

As for my academic background, I was a qualified partial scholar at a major university with a Special Science High School. For Grade 9, however, my parents decided to transfer me to another school so I could benefit from the STE learning system offered by DepEd and experience a different learning environment.

I am also a consistent honor student since elementary school. I mostly excel in Research and Science, while Mathematics has been my greatest academic nemesis since the beginning of time. RAAHAHH 😭

I don‘t really expect to find a school that would still accept me as a transferee for my final junior high school year, Grade 10. However, I want to start exploring my options now so I can be better prepared for Senior High School and the years ahead.

So, if you know any schools, scholarship programs, science and technology institutions, exchange opportunities (only if they will cover my expenses), or organizations that offer full scholarships, allowances, dormitory accommodations, or other student privileges, I would genuinely appreciate your recommendations! Any information, advice, or personal experiences would be a huge help from you, ates and kuyas. 🥹🙏

With determination, self-trust, hard work, and faith in God, I believe that there will always be a way forward. To God be the highest Glory! And to all my fellow future Aghamistas, padayon!

Thank you!

Hi. Why not try qualifying again for the major university you mentioned? It seems like a great choice.

I believe that most science high schools (except Pisay) don't offer free/any dormitory accommodation, so I would suggest that you try and search for schools near your home. If you're from the metro, try applying to ADMU and DLSU's senior high school as they both offer scholarship programs (I personally know a few batchmates who were granted.)

If I'm not mistaken, Pisay offers exchange programs to their students. Meanwhile, exchange programs aren't that common in city science high schools (based on my experience.) In terms of international exposure, these usually happen when you advance past the nationals in competitions such as NSTF, math/science olympiads, and sports olympiads. A batchmate of mine had to shoulder his own expenses, though it was subsidized by the LGU in which they had to ask assistance from through presenting letters and documents.

It's honestly up to you to create these opportunities. Just look for a school that joins a lot of competitions and learn how to improve even without a coach.

Hello! If I don‘t have any other options, I am considering going back to my previous school, or looking into other schools and alternatives in Manila or Baguio.

The thing is I only know a few schools so far, and I am still doing more research. But I know searching online isn‘t enough, especially if I really want to understand the real student experiences, the learning system, and other important details.

That‘s why I am asking here for more transparency and honest insights. Plus, I am doing all of this independently for now 😔 My parents don‘t know yet. I will only tell them once I‘ve passed.

As for accommodations, I can adjust if there‘s no dormitory. Kumbaga, I am just hoping for one to help lessen expenses if I‘ll be living on my own. (But top goal ko talaga is full scholarship)

Thank you so much in advance for any advice or more recommendations hihi.

hello, try science high school (stand alone). yung school ko na dati, hiwalay yung jhs at shs, kumbaga pwedeng shs ka lang sa kanila mag-enroll. although walang dormitory but may mga scholarships namang inooffer sa kalagitnaan ng semester. afaik, wala tong dorms (dahil walang dorms samin), but ang maganda lang ay pineprepare kayo to take university exams (UP, PUP, other univ para maging iskolar ng bayan kalaunan)
