KicksOff Nationwide, College Scholarship Portal For HS Students
Due to the poor source of information on
academic opportunities in the Philippines, Filipino-French Henry Motte-Muñoz
established an online portal called Edukasyon.ph where incoming college
students can find courses, schools, and scholarships on one site for free.
“Limited career orientation, expensive
tuition fees, and lack of knowledge on where to search for educational
opportunities are some of the key problems that high school students and
individuals seeking to expand their education and professional development are
encountering in choosing the right course and university. Students need help in
finding the educational opportunity that will fit their interests, budget, and
desired location,” said Edukasyon.ph Chief Executive Officer Ms. Linartes
Viloria.
According to the National Statistical
Coordination Board (NSCB), there are a total of 7.2 million high school students
and only 3.6 million of them are pursuing college, as of 2014.
“We want to make it easier for students to
find the different educational options available for them in the Philippines.
Through our online portal, students can now explore all the college and
technical-vocational courses offered in our country,” Viloria added.
Currently on beta, the website boasts of
more than 3,000 schools, 30,000 courses, and 2,000 scholarships which are
offered all over the Philippines.
“There are so many opportunities for
education out there that a lot of our students are unaware of. These include
scholarships they can avail of in the different universities. We want to share
this information to help more students get the education that they deserve,”
stressed Viloria.
Students can easily find schools and
scholarships that match their interests and needs just by logging on at
www.edukasyon.ph and registering to get a listing of Philippine universities
and courses, as well as scholarship updates.
“We are thrilled to share with students of
Western Visayas educational possibilities offered across the country. By giving
students a complete picture of what is available for them, we believe that we
are able to help them find the education that can get the jobs that they dream
of. We want to give them opportunities, empower them with choices, and help
them achieve success for the careers they aspire for,” said Viloria. /MP
