“The stipends for current undergraduate and graduate scholars were already released in full in the latter half of this year,” the DoST-SEI said in a statement.
The DoST-SEI assured both the public and stakeholders of its “continuing commitment to ensuring the safety and welfare of all our scholars amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.” “In particular, we are looking at ways to help our scholars receive funding in a more timely manner given the adjustments and concessions that universities have had to undertake in the wake of the pandemic,” it added.
