Batac
City—The city government here has 411
scholars for the coming school year 2014-15.
The scholars are broken down
as 129 college students and 282 secondary learners.
Batac mayor Jeffrey Jubal
Nalupta said the total number of scholars is proof that the city government is
throwing its support to students who want to study but could not afford the
expenses.
The city’s college scholars
are further broken down as 19 freshmen, 26 sophomores, 35 juniors, 46 seniors
and 3 5th year college students.
Secondary learners on the
other hand are specifically listed as 86 in grade 7, 72 in grade 8, 55 in grade
9, and 69 4th year students.
High school scholars,
according to Batac vice mayor Ronald Allan M. Nalupta, have already received
P5,000 each for the whole school year from the city government.
As for the college scholars,
the city government is still waiting for their respective assessment forms for
the city accounting office to have a basis on how much would be given to them.
The vice mayor said the check
for the college scholars will go directly to the MMSU Batac or Laoag for their
tuition fees.
Vice mayor Nalupta clarified
that the 100 percent tuition and miscellaneous fee scholarship is only given to
college scholars who are enrolled at the MMSU system.
Courses that are offered in
coordination with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) are all open
except for Nursing and Physical Therapy.
Requirements for the city
scholarship for both the high school and college students are the same: photocopy
of school records, principal certification that they belong to the honor roll
or upper 15 % class, BIR income tax returns of parents; entry level college
scholars must also have 90 and above CFAT result with specific general average for
the higher years to meet.
Aside from the city
scholarship grants, The Ilocos Times
learned that the city also offers Sirib Ni Mannalon scholarship program funded
by the city’s share in RA 7171, or the Tobacco Excise Tax, the scholarship
however is exclusively for farmers’ children.
