DLSU recognizes top 100 entrance examinees for the Star Scholars Program

To recognize this year’s Star Scholars candidates, De La Salle University hosted the Star Scholars Orientation last January 25 at the Henry Sy, Sr. Hall.

 

From 39 private and public high schools nationwide, these students are the top 100 examinees of the 2012 DLSU College Admissions Test.

 

University administrators led by University President and Chancellor Br. Ricky Laguda FSC welcomed the candidates and their parents. The attendees also met with the deans and vice deans of the different colleges, University officials, and current Star Scholars.

 

During the event, Star Scholar Batch 9 and outstanding DLSU alumnae, Camille Angela Marie Aquino (BS Applied Economics – MS Economics 2012, Honorable Mention) shared her experiences as a Lasallian and a Star Scholar. Aquino is currently the Assistant Brand Manager for Pampers of P&G Philippines.   

 

Launched in 1999, the Star Scholars Program is the most comprehensive scholarship program in the country today. The benefits of the program include an integrated undergraduate and graduate scholarship, mentorship and training programs, a tablet or personal computer, and P10,500.00 monthly stipend inclusive of modest accommodation, meal subsidy, and allowances with no service obligation to the scholars.

 

The new list of Star Scholars will be announced after an interview with the screening panel, the next and final step of the selection process. 

 

In addition to the Star Scholars Program, DLSU also launched the Frontrunners in Redefining Science and Technology (F.I.R.S.T.) Program which gives the first batch of students of DLSU Science and Technology Complex (DLSU-STC) a 30% discount on their tuition and fees throughout their stay in college. In addition, the top 100 enrollees in the DLSU-STC campus will automatically receive a Samsung android phone with P300 monthly load for one year. Press release and photo from De La Salle University
