Scheduling of enrollment is done in alphabetical order so I was included in the first batch.
I was scheduled on June 3, 8:30 AM.
But even before the said enrollment date, I have to prepare tons of paperwork contained in the enrollment kit given to us during the orientation. It took me more than a week to compile and comply all the listed requirements.
Some of the requirements include:
- Dental Health Record
- Health History, Physical Exam, Laboratory results (chest x-ray, cbc, blood typing, urinalysis, fecalysis, HBSAg, anti-HBS
- Form 137 in a sealed envelope
- Original Birth Certificate
- 1 x 1 id (better to prepare around 10)
- Scholarship Agreement (with Doc Stamp)
- Scholar's Pledge
There are additional requirements if you are applying for additional living allowance on top of the P500 like ITR of your parents, pictures of your house, etc.
I arrived at the Philippine Science High School Main Campus around 8 am and I was to finish everything around 1 pm. Overall, it was smooth, except for some minor hitches.
Some tips during the enrollment:
- Make a copy of all the blank forms in the enrollment kit before filling it up just to be safe.
- Remember to submit the Scholarship Agreement on or before end of February.
- COMPLETE all the requirements listed on the checklist. You won't be able to process your enrollment with incomplete requirements.
- Organize your files. You'll be carrying loads of paper. I suggest you put it in a clear folder, with each leaf for each department.
- Bring water, light snacks, and a fan.
- make sure to buy a Documentary Stamp before hand. You will need this for your Scholarship Agreement.
After the enrollment, there will be another Orientation sometime in late July, just before the school opening in August.
