Scholarships and the Merit Scholarships both aim to produce and develop high quality human resources
needed for the Science and Technology (S&T) and Research and Development (R&D) initiatives in the
country. However, for the past two years, there was no high school graduate under K to 12 thus DOST
offered the Junior Level Science Scholarships (JLSS) and the RA 10612 which are offered to qualified
third year college students.
