Dr.
Ronnalee N. Orteza, Philippine Science High
School (PSHS)-Ilocos Region Campus director, is encouraging high school
students to apply for scholarships with the Department of Science and
Technology (DOST) enabling them to become world-class “Filipino Scientists of
tomorrow”.
Dr. Orteza made the statement
during the Science and Technology Fora dubbed “Nasa Syensya ang Pagasa! Maging
DOST Iskolar Ka!” which was participated by various students and
representatives from Local Government Units in La Union on July 29, 2016 at the
Jollibee Function Hall, City of San Fernando.
“We are the leading science
high school in the Asia Pacific Region, preparing our scholars to become
globally-competitive Filipino scientists equipped with 21st century
skills and imbued with the core values of truth, excellence, and service to the
nation,” she said.
Applicants should be a grade
6 elementary pupil from a duly recognized school by the Department of
Education. Once screened, they will have to take a National Competitive
Examination before being accepted into the program. For this year, the
examination will be held on October 22, 2016.
Dr. Orteza also told that
“Pisay” offers free tuition, monthly stipend and loan of available textbooks to
scholar awardees. Also, a monthly living allowance determined by the
scholarship committee and approved by the Board of Trustees shall be given to
those who financially deserve the assistance.
“I hope we can convince you
including your friends and relatives this school year's high school seniors to
help build a technology-driven future for the country”, she further said.
