Commission On Higher Education (CHED)
In 2010, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) found that the Philippines had only 14% of college students taking up engineering courses, compared to 23% in G7 countries and 39% in China. Engineering students also had a staggering dropout rate of 40-60%, with reasons such as it is a difficult course to begin with and that they were lacking the support to help them pull through, coupled with poor teaching that discouraged learning, and a lack of excitement and belonging to the engineering profession.
PhilDev believes that a science and engineering education plays a critical role in accelerating national development. The goal of Phildev Science and Engineering Scholarships (PSES) is to increase the ratio of science and engineering practitioners in the Philippines, helping students achieve their best in school and flourish as professionals.

I initially thought that PhilDev will only be providing financial support, but I am happy that they provided more than that. They have other kinds of support and the PSES Team is also very hands on. They really make it a point to visit us every month.
I learned a lot from the PhilDev-Shell Camps. For me, learning is not limited to the four corners of the classroom. I learned to interact with other people. Grades can only take you so far, but the connections built are also important. PhilDev provided us with all kinds of support to promote our holistic development. “.

I will never forget the day I received the message I was a PhilDev scholarship receipient. I was so happy because the benefits of the program are incomparable to other scholarship offerings out there. It was memorable.
Aside from financial aid, the biggest impact of the scholarship are the learnings from summer camps. Mentorship, personal development, career guidance and resume building are all given by PhilDev.
