This is a partial funding opportunity, not a fully funded scholarship. The college page describes a tuition fee discount only, so you should plan for every other cost until NTC confirms otherwise in writing.
I read the official page line by line and kept only what it actually says. Below you will find what is confirmed, what is missing, and a practical way to get the missing answers. There are separate sections for Pakistani, US, and other international applicants.

Overview
National Teachers College runs a Scholarships Office that handles scholarships, service grants, student loans, and financial assistance. The Entrance Scholarship Program is one of its listings, and it sits next to separate programs such as the Academic Scholarship and the Student Assistantship Program.
The search intent behind this topic is mostly about eligibility and amount: people want to know whether they qualify and how much they save. The official page answers the amount in one sentence and leaves the rest open. That gap is why this guide focuses on questions to ask and documents to prepare.
Who Can Apply
The official page names one group: Senior High School graduates who are qualified and have excellent academic performance. It does not publish a minimum grade, GPA, class rank, or list of eligible programs.
What Is Confirmed
- The award is aimed at Senior High School graduates.
- Academic performance is the stated basis.
What Is Not Published
- Minimum grade or general average.
- Eligible degree programs.
- Nationality or residency rules.
- Whether the award renews each semester.
Scholarship pages change often. Re-read the official page and confirm any program-level or English requirements with NTC right before you submit anything. Use the CGPA calculator to prepare your grade figures for that conversation.
How Winners Are Selected
NTC has not published a selection method. It also does not say how applicants are placed in the 100% group or the 50% group. Treat any claim about a scoring formula, interview, or ranking as unverified until the Scholarships Office confirms it.
Funding and Benefits
100% tuition discount
Confirmed as an award level for qualified graduates.
50% tuition discount
Confirmed as the second award level.
Miscellaneous fees
Not stated for this award. The Academic Scholarship on the same page excludes them, so do not assume either way.
Duration
The page does not say how many semesters the Entrance Scholarship covers.
Important: A 100% tuition discount is not the same as a fully funded scholarship. Housing, food, transport, books, and personal costs are not mentioned.
Required Documents
NTC publishes no document list for the Entrance Scholarship. Other scholarships on the page ask for items such as a report card and a completed application form, but those belong to different programs. For this award, request the exact list in writing.
Prepare These While You Wait
- Senior High School report card or transcript.
- Valid passport or government ID.
- Proof of graduation or expected graduation.
- Any documents the Admissions Office sends you.
These are sensible preparation items, not confirmed NTC requirements. Keep your file names consistent and your scans readable. If a file is too large for an upload field, the site has a PDF compressor.
English Language Requirements
The official scholarships page states no English test requirement for this award. Do not assume a score is or is not needed. Ask NTC Admissions whether a test, a waiver, or a school certificate applies to your situation.
Costs
The page gives no tuition amounts for the Entrance Scholarship, so I will not estimate your savings. Ask for the current tuition assessment for your program, then calculate what 100% or 50% would mean in Philippine pesos.
For context, NTC also lists a CHED Tulong Dunong Program with Php 15,000 in assistance per academic year, plus a Family Discount of 5% or 10% and an installment partner called Bukas PH. These are separate programs, and the page does not say whether foreign students can use them.
Application Procedure
NTC publishes no step-by-step process for this award. The flowchart below is the safest route I can recommend based on what the page does say: contact the Scholarships Office and get everything in writing.
Use the contact address shown on NTC's official scholarships page. Ask for the Entrance Scholarship form, criteria, required documents, and cutoff date with its time zone.
Ask the Admissions Office whether you must be admitted before the scholarship can be considered.
Send the form and documents, save every confirmation email, and ask for the decision in writing.
Deadlines and Time Zones
There is no official deadline to convert, so the timeline below is a personal planning schedule, not an NTC calendar. Adjust it once the Scholarships Office gives you a real date.
When NTC gives you a time, convert it right away. The example below assumes NTC uses Philippine Time (UTC+8), which is my assumption and not stated on the page. It uses 12:00 PM as a sample time only.
| Zone | Sample Conversion of 12:00 PM Philippine Time |
|---|---|
| PKT (Pakistan) | 9:00 AM, same day |
| GMT | 4:00 AM, same day |
| ET (US East) | 12:00 AM same day in EDT, or 11:00 PM the previous day in EST |
| PT (US West) | 9:00 PM the previous day in PDT, or 8:00 PM the previous day in PST |
Residence Permit or Visa
The scholarship page says nothing about visas. Foreign students generally need permission to study in the Philippines, but the exact route and documents are set by Philippine authorities and the college. Ask NTC Admissions which visa applies to your program and what letter they can issue, and verify the answer with the Philippine embassy or consulate that serves your country.
For Pakistani Applicants
The award is written for Senior High School graduates, which is the Philippine K-12 stage. A Pakistani applicant usually holds an FSc, A Levels, or an equivalent, so the first question is whether NTC treats that credential as equal to Senior High School graduation. That one answer decides whether this award is even open to you.
- Ask whether NTC accepts your FSc, ICS, or A Levels as the entry qualification.
- Ask whether IBCC equivalence or attestation is required before the Scholarships Office can review you.
- Check passport validity early, because it affects both admission and a student visa.
- Convert every deadline to PKT, which is three hours behind Philippine Time.
A short, specific email gets better answers than a long one. If you need help structuring your personal statement, read my guide to writing a winning motivation letter.
For US Applicants
The page gives no information about US citizens, so here is the practical view. American high school graduates are not Senior High School graduates in the Philippine sense, which makes the credential question the first thing to settle with NTC.
- Ask whether a US high school diploma qualifies you for this award.
- Ask NTC whether your program can use US federal student aid. I could not verify this, so do not assume it.
- Check how credits from NTC would transfer if you plan to return to a US school.
- Remember the time gap: Philippine Time is 12 or 13 hours ahead of Eastern Time, depending on daylight saving.
For Other International Applicants
Applicants from the Gulf, Africa, Europe, or elsewhere face the same core question: does your secondary diploma count as Senior High School graduation? The page does not list eligible nationalities, so silence should not be read as permission.
- Request written confirmation that foreign applicants may receive this award.
- Ask whether your documents need an official English translation or a school-issued certificate.
- Check whether your country has a Philippine embassy or consulate that handles student visas.
- Budget for tuition not covered by a 50% discount and for living costs in either case.
After You Receive an Offer
Get the award in writing and read what it covers line by line. Confirm the discount percentage, the covered fees, the number of semesters, and any grade you must keep. Save the letter, because you may need it for your visa file and for the enrollment office.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming it is fully funded: The page lists tuition only.
- Using an unverified email address: Copy the contact only from the official page.
- Trusting old deadlines: Older posts may belong to a different year.
- Skipping the credential question: Non-Philippine graduates must confirm equivalence early.
- Applying late: A missed cutoff cannot be fixed afterward.
Scam Warning Signs
- A promise of a guaranteed 100% discount.
- A request to pay a fee to a personal account.
- Pressure to decide within hours.
- Contact from a free email address instead of an ntc.edu.ph address.
How to Apply Safely
Start from the official scholarships page and use the contact address shown there. Never send passport scans or bank details to an unverified person. If you need more context about this site, read the disclaimer page, because I am not affiliated with NTC.
