    Good evening sir/ma'am, I would like to ask when will be the submission of requirements for scholarship programs? Because as of the situation, some of my requirements are to be claimed at the school, my good moral certification as SHS graduate, form 138, diploma, study load, and etc. are all at the school and I cannot claim it because of the ECQ implemented. How can I be able to apply on your scholarship program at this matter?
