As per the memo, this CHED Memorandum Order shall have immediate effectivity upon the approval of the school and the Regional Office and will remain under effect until the time that CHED will release a new CMO.

What is the importance of knowing these priority courses by CHED?

Well of course, you would want to ask the question why knowing all of these courses is necessary. First thing is that if you are interested in being granted the CHED scholarship, you have to know that they have priorities in order for them to fully maximize the scholarship they will be giving. Imagine granting a learner a scholarship and after graduating they don’t get something in return.
In addition to that, they can easily determine and segregate the students whom they will grant the scholarship/s to. The point of them having these priority courses and programs is for them to be able to easily attain what they need in business but they can’t escape the fact that it’s good aid for the students and for the families. Even if it’s just a fair amount of deduction from the students’ tuition fees, it’s still a huge help for the families of the students and the students themselves.

How to apply scholarship? Thank you.
How can I apply for a scholarship? I am a solo parent I already have my Solo parent Identification with me but there is still no news of where to apply for the scholarship here in Cagayan de Oro City.I wan’t to apply for the SSP scholarship program hopefully.
I would like to ask why there is NO BS Nursing course included in the list. When this course have very high tuition fees in diff schools and this profession is now in much need in health care institutions.? When employed, salary is not compensating. There are govmnt colleges offering for free but too much difficulty in availing and applying to such. I hope this concern can be taken action and can give students with high ambition to become nurses inspite of the low income living of families.
