Im currently studying nursing.
Good day!
I am Gabriel R. Canonigo, currently a 2nd-year Nursing student from Bulacan. I sincerely hope to be considered and selected for your program.
Being chosen would be a great help to me and my family. My father works as a tricycle driver, while my mother is a housewife. As a student enrolled in a private school, we face financial challenges, especially now that I have not yet completed my enrollment and will be taking Related Learning Experience (RLE) subjects this year, which require additional expenses.
I am determined to continue my studies and pursue my dream of becoming a nurse despite these difficulties. Any assistance from your program would greatly support my education and lessen the financial burden on my family.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to your kind response.

MANIFESTING PO, SANA MAKASALI, PA FIRST YEAR COLLEGE PO.
I am sincerely applying for this scholarship because it would greatly help me continue my education and achieve my dream of becoming a nurse. As a nursing student, I face significant financial challenges that make it difficult to support my studies and daily expenses. My family’s income is not enough to cover the costs of tuition, school requirements, transportation, books, and other educational needs.
I am also an orphan, which has made my journey even more challenging. Growing up without the support of my parents has taught me to be strong, responsible, and determined despite the hardships I face. Although life has not been easy, I have never allowed my circumstances to stop me from pursuing my goals. Instead, they have motivated me to work harder and remain focused on building a better future.
Where and how to apply po?
Manifesting

Magandang araw po. Pangarap ko pong maging isang nurse upang makapaglingkod at makatulong sa mga taong nangangailangan ng pangangalaga, lalo na sa mga batang may sakit at mga kapus-palad. Ang CHED Scholarship po ay hindi lamang tulong pinansyal para sa akin, kundi isang pagkakataon upang maipagpatuloy ko ang aking pag-aaral at maabot ang pangarap na ito. Kung mapagkakalooban po ninyo ako ng pagkakataon, pagbubutihin ko ang aking pag-aaral at gagamitin ko ang aking propesyon upang makapagbigay ng positibong pagbabago sa komunidad. Maraming salamat po.
As an incoming Nursing student, I am humbly seeking a scholarship opportunity because pursuing this course comes with significant tuition fees and other educational expenses. My parents and I are doing our best, but our financial situation makes it difficult to afford the cost of my studies. Nursing is my dream course, and I am determined to work hard and succeed, but I need financial assistance to continue this journey. A scholarship would not only ease our financial burden but also give me the opportunity to achieve my goals and one day serve others as a dedicated nurse. Thank you for considering students like me who are striving for a better future despite financial challenges. :::
how about the students who take a BSED PROGRAM??
Good day. Currently studying BS MATHEMATICS at ISAT-U Main Campus. I

How po?
As an incoming second-year nursing student, I humbly apply for this scholarship to help me continue my education. My father is a farmer, and my mother is a housewife. Because of our financial difficulties, it is challenging to support my school expenses and nursing requirements. This scholarship would be a great help to my family and would allow me to continue pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse. I am determined to study hard, graduate, and one day give back to my family and community.

Magandang araw po.
Ako po si Giesyl N. Caparoso, isang masipag at determinadong estudyante na kasalukuyang kumukuha ng Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology major in Culinary Arts sa Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU).
Ako po ay lubos na umaasa na mapili bilang isa sa mga benepisyaryo ng scholarship na ito dahil malaki po ang maitutulong nito sa aking pag-aaral. Ang aming pamilya ay nakararanas ng kakulangan sa pananalapi, at nahihirapan po kaming matustusan ang aking mga gastusin sa paaralan. Sa kabila nito, patuloy po akong nagsisikap at hindi sumusuko sa pag-abot ng aking mga pangarap.
Naniniwala po ako na ang edukasyon ang susi upang magkaroon ng mas magandang kinabukasan. Bilang isang Culinary Arts student, pangarap ko pong maging isang mahusay na chef at magamit ang aking kaalaman at kakayahan upang makatulong sa aking pamilya at sa komunidad. Handa po akong pagbutihin pa ang aking pag-aaral at panatilihin ang magandang pag-uugali bilang kapalit ng pagkakataong ito.
Ang scholarship na ito ay hindi lamang magiging tulong pinansyal para sa akin kundi magiging inspirasyon din upang lalo akong magsikap at maabot ang aking mga mithiin sa buhay. Taos-puso po akong humihiling na mabigyan ng pagkakataong maging bahagi ng programang ito.
Maraming salamat po sa inyong oras, konsiderasyon, at pagkakataon.
