Going to college and getting an education has always been a top priority for women from the Philippines. They pride themselves on being well educated and statistics tend to back them up.

We have compiled those scholarships on this page in an easy to read manner so it is just a matter of clicking the link we provide you with and you will be taken right over to the application form.
