The Pros of Being a DOST Scholar
Students who take the DOST scholarship examination are to lessen the burden of their parents supporting their tuition and school expenses. Lots of students are aiming to become scholars but only a few deserving ones were chosen. What are the pros of being a DOST scholar?
They will support you financially.
Some Filipino parents find it hard to support all of their children in college. To continue their college years, they are urging their children to take DOST scholarship examination. Once you passed the test, you will be given P10,000 or P8,000 financial support for your school tuition every semester. Other than this, DOST will give other allowance for the books and other expenses while in college.
You will be driven to work harder.
Being a DOST scholar means you need to maintain your grade. If you want to stay as a DOST scholar, diligence and perseverance are needed. Knowing that you need to maintain your grade, you will be more encouraged to work harder than usual.
You can learn how to be more independent.
Your parents are working hard to support all your basic needs, but as you grow up, you know that you need to work on your own. Being a DOST scholar does not mean that you need to find a job, but it will give you a sense of responsibility. Working hard to continue being a scholar means that you are learning how to become independent.
The Cons of Being a Scholar
Although we have talked about the positive things about the DOST scholarship, we know that it has a few disadvantages. Though, it is up to you if you think that these disadvantages are good enough to discourage you.
You need to go through with pressures.
Maintaining grades put pressure on you, especially when the subject is getting difficult and more challenging in the next semesters. That is why it is important to choose the courses that you like when you plan to take the examination with the DOST scholarship.
You must serve in the country for several years, the same as the year you enjoyed the benefits of the DOST scholarship.
If you are planning to go abroad after graduation, the government will not allow you to do that unless you finished your service inside the country for some time. Well, this would not create too many problems, because after serving in the country, you can plan to work abroad.
