Scholarships that don't judge your gross annual income?
I really don't know who to turn to anymore. I badly need help looking for scholarships that don't base solely on your parent's yearly income.
Its scholarship opening season, and almost every scholarship I see is not something I'm qualified for dahil it surpasses the limit. My parent's income might look big on paper, but in reality, malaki ang deduction because of loans, taxes, bills, and monthly hospital trips. Marami rin silang dependents. Kaya they can't support me sa college. I'm fortunate enough to not need a dorm, since colleges and unis are close.
The safest option others say is the DOST scholarship, but to be honest, I don't meet their requirement😭😭😭 I don't come from a STEM strand (HUMSS student here, pero STEM-related ang course sa college), nor do I belong in the top 5% (kinapos nang kaonti).
I'm not looking for scholarships that give out a huge stipend, just enough to get by lang. The adults aren't really a big help, because kahit kanino ako magtanong (including teachers), and the internet can't help me find one.
EDIT: If it helps, the nearest colleges are private schools (RIP wallet), and the only one state u is UP, which I am still unsure if I will get in.
