A Greek philosopher and a polymath named Aristotle once said ...

"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet!"

True to what it meant, studying is indeed so difficult. A student like me won't finish my studies without experiencing difficulties and failures. That's part of the process that every student must learn on how to solve and juggle with, accordingly.

As we all know, the real life as a student do really begins at college. Yes, primary and secondary education are also tough especially with regards to financial aspect. However, we, students are more able to define "struggles" even better when we got to step up to tertiary level. Agree or nah?

Many things will test how eager we are in order to attain that title of "college graduate" or "degree holder." The exhaustion, stress? Our physical body, mind, and emotional well-being will experience it all.

Have you already heard someone said, "oh! You're course was so easy to take. It's not that hard to finish it." I usually hear these phrases from my fellow students. Really? For those incoming college students out there, don't belittle other courses just because yours was strenuous. Remember ...

"Every degree courses are burdensome. We just differ on the level of difficulty but still, all are laborious."

If you're one of my avid readers since then on, you'll know what year would I will be next Academic Year. Hence, I'll share it again.

"I started my college journey by August 2019 and I antecedently finished my third year in college this July 2022."

As a BS Agriculture student, every day of studying is absolutely exacting. All of the tasks requires to allot huge amount of time, effort, energy, skills & knowledge. Not to mention, the money. It's so expensive especially during face-to-face classes. You're daily allowance of 100 pesos ($1)? That's not enough.

In there, I am glad that I have scholarships to save me. ✨

As you can still recall, I presently had granted four (4) scholarships. In college, it is prohibited to have multiple scholarships. Well, pagalingan na lang talagang magtago. *wink wink*

At this point, I am currently waiting for both of my remaining allowances (known as Stipend) and clothing benefits from my scholarships. These are the following:

💵 Cash Benefits

PhP 6000.00 ($106.58) from VBBSP

In accordance to our contract, we, the scholars of this private company will receive:

• PhP 20,000.00 ($355.24) every semester;

• PhP 6000.00 ($106.58) for Summer Classes, if required in the course;

• Clothing benefits & reading materials every semester.

Also if we want to have a part-time job, we can communicate to the company through our Officer-In-Charge and they'll hire us in their nearest branch.

Got to received my second semester allowance. Read here: I Received PhP 20,000.00 ($377.95)!

Now, I'm just waiting for my renewal to be granted for me to have the cash benefit this Mid-Year Summer Class. That amounts to six thousand pesos which is almost equivalent to my monthly budget.

PhP 2800.00 ($49.73) from Academic Scholarship

Aside from my scholarship in VBBSP, I am also an Academic Scholar. As I got a GWA ranging from 1.40 to 1.74, I became a College Scholar. What's good in here is that apart from the title, we're receiving cash incentives like as stated below:

• University Scholar (GWA of 1.39 and up)- PhP 6000.00 and up

• College Scholar- PhP 2800.00 ($49.73)

See? Such a blessing it is. As of this day, I am bound to receive my incentives last first semester of A.Y. 2021-2022 amounting of $49.73. Maybe, I could receive it before or a month after A.Y. 2022-2023 begins.

PhP 2000.00 ($35.52) from iSKolar ni SK

Our Sangguniang Kabataan Chairman had this project last 2021 by which they gave scholarship on the Senior High School and college students in our barangay. The first allowance distribution held by September 25 of 2021, exactly on my 21st birthday.

This year, we are about to receive another batch of PhP 2000.00 ($35.52). Actually, it should be by May pa but election ban happened.

In total, that's PhP 10,800.00 or $191.83. Gosh!

👕 Clothing Benefits

As I mentioned above, clothing benefits is one of our benefits as VBBSP Scholars and it should be by semester. Apparently, pandemic and community lockdowns happens which technically led the deliveries and transportation to be cancelled. Dami ko na sanang shoes and pants ay~

Thus, this year is our lucky year! Kyahhh! We'll receive set of clothes and footwear from Natasha Incorporation this semester. Such as:

• Blouse, pants, shoes & socks, and undergarments

By July 13, our newly appointed OIC informed us that our packages are already delivered to the university.

Since every personnels became occupied from the previous Commencement Exercises, the schedule of distribution was said "To Be Announced." Hopefully, we could claim it before the face-to-face classes resumes again.

Closing Thoughts

A tip for the incoming college students out there, do look for a scholarship. It'll be such a big help especially when F2F classes were held again. As you know, college is extremely expensive. But you'll just realize how expensive it really is when online classes ends.

But, don't be too greedy. Okay? Don't underestimate the funders of scholarships, they can track it down if you really need and deserves it or not. Like, if you're really poor or just an impostor.
