Please be informed that while the deadline for the Second Semester Call for Applications remains on November 14 (as stated on the website), the official posting of the Call has been temporarily delayed as we await the release of the official memorandum.

We understand the excitement and anticipation of our applicants. However, as part of our standard process, we can only proceed once the memo has been issued. This ensures proper coordination, transparency, and fairness in the distribution of the limited scholarship slots.

In the meantime, you may start the admission process for the graduate programs. Please be reminded that applicants admitted beyond the scholarship deadline will no longer be eligible for scholarship consideration, but may continue with their admission.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we finalize the necessary processes.
For inquiries, you may reach us through email or by sending us a direct message.
