government and private agencies who offer scholarships to those
deserving individuals. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) offers a
number of scholarships for
individuals working in the academe. This
scholarship covers almost everything, from School fees, tuition fees, book
allowances and even transportation allowances.The only drawback of the CHED
scholarship is that courses are only available in selected schools. The initial
school payment must be paid by the student, and will be refunded afterwards,
which means that if you are a CHED scholar, you still need to prepare money in
order to enroll.
There are also scholarships which are offered by
Universities from other countries. And scholarships that are in
collaboration with different schools from all over the world.

your chosen master’s degree is in line with your bachelor’s degree. Second, your
chosen degree is available in the universities near your area.

to finish a master’s degree. There are a number of reasons cited by different
individuals, and the most common are for career improvement, acquiring a more
stable job, permanency and salary or compensation increase.

you have a clear goal in pursuing your master’s degree, do not think of
enrolling, or you will just be wasting your time, effort and of course your money.
