Financial Assistance for Incoming College Freshmen General Guidelines

De La Salle University provides financial assistance to Filipino students who meet specific criteria for eligibility. The selection of grantees is done by the Scholarship and Financial Assistance (SFA) Committee based on the following factors/criteria*:

1. Financial Need. Only those whose annual family income is less than P500,000 will be considered.
2. Academic Competence based on high school grades and College Entrance Test results.
3. Interview Result. Only shortlisted applicants will be invited to report for an interview.

* DOST Scholarship applicants who wish to apply for DLSU financial assistance will also be evaluated based on these criteria.

The Application Form for Financial Assistance is available at the College Admissions Office. This Form and all the required documents must be submitted to the Admissions Office together with the Application Form for Freshmen.

Processing of financial assistance applications will commence after the list of accepted freshman applicants has been officially released by the Admissions Office. Acceptance by the Admissions Office does not guarantee that financial assistance will be awarded.

The number of students to be granted financial assistance will depend on the number of available slots for the degree program.

Financial assistance can be given to only one grantee per family.

The financial assistance application results will be released in February. Applicants who fail to receive notification regarding their application may inquire at the Scholarship and Financial Assistance (SFA) Office.

Once awarded, the grants are renewable every trimester. The grantees are required to meet certain academic standards and to abide by the policies prescribed by the SFA Office. Grantees may be required to render service/assistantship beginning their sophomore year.
