Board Exam Results

3,218 OFW children contest on the 100 OWWA scholarship slot. This mean that the OWWA scholarship examinee should be on the top 3.10% when the 2007-2008 EDSP OWWA scholarship exam result is released to able qualify to the scholarship grant.

A total of Three Thousand Two Hundred Eighteen (3,218) children and other beneficiaries of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) applied to be a scholar of OWWA’s Education for Development Scholarship Program (EDSP) for SY2008-2009.

The EDSP is an OWWA funded baccalaureate scholarship program wherein a OWWA member’s beneficiary is entitled to P30,000/semester for any 4 to 5 year Degree Course after passing the very rigorous entrance examination facilitated by the Department of Science and Technology.

OFW children or beneficiaries currently in the EDSP number Four Hundred Nineteen (419) and studying in various colleges and universities nationwide including the University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila University, etc. One of OWWA’s EDSP scholar, Loris Marriel Barcelo Villar, a sophomore AB Political Science major in the Ateneo de Manila University, was recently chosen as one of Bank of the Philippine Island’s Ten Outstanding Expat Pinoy Children for 2007.

Total application for SY2008-2009 increased by approximately 7% as compared with applicants for SY2007-2008. OWWA-National Capital Region (NCR) received the most number of applications with 700 approved applications followed by OWWA-RWO VI with 380 approved applications. OWWA-RWO IX and XI received the least number of approved applications with each getting only 37 applicants.

The entrance examinations for EDSP applicants will be held in seventy-nine (79) OWWA testing centers nationwide.

As I write this post the OWWA scholarship exam result is not yet available.  Expect it to be posted here upon its availability.  Stay tuned and subscribe our feed for more updates.

Goodluck to all the examinees.
