DID you know 1: This year’s batch of 300 scholars of the Development Bank of the Philippines’ (DBP) Endowment for Education Program are high school graduates who want to take maritime and technical/vocational courses (read: the scholarship is for the entire course, not just for one year, and there are no strings attached).
Aside from being smart, the main qualification of each scholar is extreme poverty. The sob stories of many of these scholars are for real.
