About the Benilde Scholarship Program
Benilde offers different scholarship and grant pathways to help qualified students access its programs. Awards vary in their academic, talent-based, and financial-need criteria. A scholarship application is separate from admission: expressing interest in funding does not itself mean an applicant has been awarded a grant. The college’s official Scholarships and Grants page describes available categories and the screening requirements for each.
The current application calendar is particularly relevant to Philippine senior high school graduates planning to begin college in August 2027. Check the college’s admissions information for the correct campus and applicant type; scholarship procedures and timetables may differ for Benilde Antipolo and Manila.
Financial Benefits and Funding Coverage
There is no single funding amount that applies to every Benilde scholarship. Coverage depends on the scholarship or grant awarded. Some categories offer tuition assistance, while others have distinct support conditions and renewal rules. Do not assume that a tuition scholarship covers accommodation, food, transport, examination fees, or every school expense.
Before choosing a category, read its specific coverage, maintaining-grade requirements, and any service or participation obligations. Ask the Scholarships and Grants Unit for clarification if the published information does not state a peso amount or a complete list of covered costs.
Application and Selection Process
Benilde’s scholarship process involves admission, indication of scholarship interest, submission of supporting records, assessment, and the relevant entrance or scholarship examination. Depending on the award, an interview, portfolio, audition, or other screening may be required. The college publishes scholarship results separately from admission decisions; its current timetable indicates scholarship results from April 30, 2027.
Meeting minimum eligibility does not guarantee a place. Applicants should allow time to obtain school records, secure recommendations where required, and complete any assessment before the scholarship deadline.
Eligibility Requirements
- Apply under the correct incoming-student category for the relevant campus and program.
- For most undergraduate scholarship categories, applicants are incoming first-year students; transfer students have limited grant-specific exceptions.
- Review citizenship requirements. Benilde’s published scholarship guidelines identify Filipino citizenship for the relevant college scholarship categories, with additional documents for dual citizens.
- Meet the academic, financial, talent, portfolio, or other criteria of the specific scholarship selected.
- Complete admission and any required examinations or interviews within the published schedule.
Do not apply to multiple mutually exclusive scholarship categories without checking the college’s rules: its guidelines generally limit applicants to one scholarship type.
Required Documents
The college identifies a Grant Application Form (GAF) and academic records among the scholarship documents. Applicants may also need their Secondary Scholastic Record, admission information, proof of academic honors, family income documentation for need-based grants, or portfolio and other materials depending on the category. The exact list is not identical for every scholarship.
Prepare clear digital copies early, use the official forms for your intended scholarship, and verify any additional requirements sent by Benilde. Do not submit documents to unofficial intermediaries.
