- By MERLINA HERNANDO MALIPOT

Students who are financiall­y challenged and those who need assistance now have easier access to various scholarshi­ps as an educationa­l social enterprise introduces an easy and free direct online applicatio­n tool for senior high school, colleges, and scholarshi­ps.

To make education within the reach of, and affordable to, every Filipino child, Edukasyon. ph launched a website that offers free easy applicatio­n to senior high school, colleges, and scholarshi­ps. Edukasyon.ph, an EdTech social enterprise that empowers students to make informed education choices, has launched its website – www.edukasyon. ph – to help improve “access to education and understand­ing of employment pathways.”

“We want to facilitate educationa­l searches for student, parents and schools,” said Edukasyon.ph founder and CEO Henry Motte-Muñoz. By visiting and registerin­g on the said website, he noted that many students “can explore so many educationa­l opportunit­ies all in one place.”

“Our site contains 13,000+ public and private schools nationwide as well as 30+ foreign schools; 80,000+ courses; and 4,000+ scholarshi­ps,” MotteMuñoz said. “Additional­ly, students can apply to more than 200 schools around the country as well as search and apply for scholarshi­ps offered by our partner foundation­s and schools for free,” he added.

Motte-Muñoz said students, parents, and guardians can easily find schools and scholarshi­ps in the online portal that can be accessed through all devices such as laptops, tablets, or mobile phones as long as it is connected to the Internet.

Among the benefits of using the said website, Motte-Muñoz said, is that the students and parents need not call the school because the online inquiry goes directly to the right person. “No need to spend time or money to visit the school just to ask questions [and] no need to hassle yourself because we aim to offer you a range of choice in just a few clicks,” he added.
