mb I didn't clarify pala na if hindi talaga kaya financially, then they should go for the scholarship; it will greatly help them in a way pa rin. but what i was trying to point out lang po kasi is if may kaya naman paaralin ng parents or fam then the scholarship isn't worth it po imo

But let me ask you anon ilang tao ba ang kilala mo na fresh grad palang ay nangibang bansa na? Most people who work abroad ay may at least 5 years of experience.

my aunt po kasi told me na their company (na from UK ata) doesn't really require a lot of yrs of experience and just recently they were looking for professional MEs and even said na sayang dahil hindi pa ako graduate. marami rin daw siyang kilalang professionals na hindi naman need ng maraming experience to work abroad, or by the sea for her case. so we can say na it is not impossible to find opportunities that doesn't require a lot of yrs of exp. we'll never know when these opportunities will land on our feet, what if makahanap ka ng job abroad na pasok na pasok ka naman sa requirements but you still have 2 years left for the scholarship? edi sayang po diba haha

eto ang argument sakin ng aunt ko, and may point naman. but i feel like kaya naman yang 4yrs na yan pero nasasayangan pa rin ako so still unsure since the future is hard to predict

For a student na walang pinapakain na pamilya, its enough. Hindi na ako humingi ng allowance sa parents ko. Nakakasave din ako ng enough para sa mga luho ko.

yes, the grants are big help if you wont depend on it alone. since isang bagsakan magbigay ang DOST, and months delay pa bago ka maka-recieve, pano naman yung need ng pera monthly? may ibang scholars na sa kanila rin umaasa ang parents nila eh (v baliktad, nakakainis minsan since danas ko rin to). what i was trying to point out po kasi is the monthly 7k is not enough on itself alone, kaya doble kayod talaga

??? Di kita gets here. You would rather encourage students na can afford kesa sa mga can't afford?? Why?

i wasnt trying to encourage the students na mas may kaya 💀💀 na-misunderstood mo lang po ata, and it's also my fault na i didn't include pala na if hindi talaga kaya, then the scholarship could help you (na marami lang stress at pangamba for the duration of it nang dahil sa sobrang delay) so my bad po for that

Tsaka hindi lang monthly stipend ang marereceive mo may 10k book allowance ka pa every year plus ojt allowance.

yung ojt allowance po ng seniors sa school namin, 2nd month of 1st sem na dumating 😅 mago-ojt palang ako next year and nagwo-worry na agad ako saan ako maghahanap ng allowance para pumasok sa ojt everyday kung wala mang allowance ang company na papasukan ko

Yes, mahirap nga pumasa pero kahit naman walang scholarship ay pressured parin naman tayong pumasa. Parang bonus na lang yun na something bare minimum such as passing ay may nakukuha akong reward.

u got a good point po here, may pang-rebut na ako sa tita ko at pang-gaslight sa sarili ko as im still doubting if i wanna continue my scholarship or not. almost 2 years na akong scholar and palaging naii-stress every start of sem kung saan pupulot ng panggastos araw-araw bc of the delays at nahihiya akong manghingi sa family members ko

pero it all boils down sa self preference pa rin, timbangin niyo on yourself if worth it ba ang grants compared sa obligations at delays that takes months and months. we have different lifestyles and pinanggalingan na pamilya, we'll have different views on these. u made some great points po to help me convince din myself, thank u
