Top 10 Graduates of All Public High Schools May Now Avail the Scholarship Grants in State Universities and Colleges
Only months since I posted about a bill which was dubbed as the "Iskolar ng Bayan Act of 2014", the proposed measure was enacted into law. It is now called as Republic Act Number 10648.
Basically, this act shall provide scholarship grants to top graduates of all public high schools in State Universities and Colleges.
This act covers all public high school students belonging to the top ten (10) of the graduating class who enroll in SUCs as freshmen.

A public high school with more than five
hundred (500) graduates shall be entitled to one (1) additional
scholarship slot in SUCs for every five hundred (500) graduates. The
additional slots shall be given to graduates whose ranks immediately
follow the top ten (10) students and who will enroll in SUCs after
meeting the admission requirements for freshmen.
Any
public high school student who belongs to the top ten (10) bracket of
the graduating class shall be entitled to the scholarship grant provided
under this Act in any SUC of choice upon compliance with the following
conditions:
(a) The student has graduated from any
public high school in the country within two (2) years prior to the
academic year being applied for in the SUC;
(b) The student has complied with the application requirements of the SUC;
(c) The student’s rank is reported by
the public high school principal or administrator in a certificate
bearing the name of the school and its location, the number of students,
the rank of the student applicant in the graduating class, and other
relevant information; and
(d) After taking the entrance
examination in the chosen SUC, the student has obtained a rating which
has been designated by the SUC as the minimum rating for a student to be
able to qualify for the scholarship program.
