DOST Scholarships for Graduate Studies
The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through the Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) announces the availability of scholarships for Master's and Doctorate (MS & PhD) degrees in priority science and technology (S&T) areas through the implementation of the Accelerated Science and Technology Human Resource Development Program (ASTHRDP) and Engineering Research & Development for Technology (ERDT).
The ASTHRD scholarship aims to: 1) help improve the country's global competitiveness and capability to innovate through S&T; and 2) accelerate the production of high-level human resources needed for research & development in S&T.
Under the ASTHRDP, the scholarship includes master and doctorate degrees and thesis/dissertation grants for the following priority fields of study:
* Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources
* Fisheries and Marine Sciences
* Biological Sciences
* Information and Communication Technology
* Biotechnology
* Materials Science and Nanotechnology
* Chemical Sciences
* Pure and Applied Mathematics
* Earth, Atmospheric and Space Sciences
* Health and Pharmaceutical Sciences
* Environmental Sciences
* Pure and Applied Physics
Qualified applicants for ASTHRDP are entitled to scholarship privileges such as free tuition fees, monthly stipend, transportation allowance, book allowance, group health and accident insurance and thesis/dissertation allowance.
On the other hand, the ERDT is a consortium of eight member universities in the country that offer master’s and doctoral degrees in various engineering fields. De La Salle University (DLSU), Mapua Institute of Technology (MIT), Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU), Mindanao State University Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), University of San Carlos (USC), Central Luzon State University (CLSU), University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) constitute the consortium.
The ERDT scholarship aims to: 1) deliver high-impact research aligned with the country’s National Science and Technology Plan (NSTP) and the Medium-Term Development Program (MTDP); 2) attain a critical mass of Masteral and Doctoral graduates; 3) upgrade the qualifications of practicing engineers; and 4) develop a culture of Research Development.
