The JLSS is a scholarship program under the Republic Act No. 7687 or the “S&T Scholarship Act of 1994,” R.A. No. 10612 or the “Fast-Tracked S&T Scholarship Act of 2013,” and the R.A. No. 2067 or the Merit Scholarship Program.” Qualifiers to the program will enjoy two to three years of scholarship benefits, which include tuition subsidy, monthly stipend, book allowance, and others. Passers of the Merit Scholarship will likewise receive the same benefits except for the pro-rated monthly stipend that is based on the scholar’s socio-economic status.

The JLSS is implemented in support of the overall goal of increasing the number of scientists and engineers that will help boost knowledge creation and economic productivity in the country. RA 10612, on the other hand, supports the execution of the K to 12 law by creating a pool of scholar-graduates that can competently teach science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in the basic education level.

Scholars under the RA 10612 are expected to teach STEM, ideally in their respective home regions, as their return-service. Meanwhile, graduates of the RA 7687 and Merit Programs are required to work along their fields of specialization in the country equivalent to the length of years in which they benefitted from the scholarship program.

Each qualifier shall receive a notice of scholarship from the DOST Regional Office No. 8 stating the date and venue of orientation and contract signing. He/she shall report at the designated venue with a parent/legal guardian who must bring a 2018 Community Tax Certificate. The legal guardian, if applicable, is required to submit his/her notarized affidavit of guardianship.

For more information, the qualifiers may call/text using mobile numbers 09185159990, 09177132799 or 09265189847 or visit the DOST-E. Samar Provincial S&T Center, ESSU Main Campus, Borongan City, Eastern Samar.
