PREVIOUS EXAMINATIONS
In the 2017 exams,
OWWA released names of scholarship qualifiers in more than six (6) months after the test or on April 24, 2018. Of the 3,249 children of OWWA members who vied for the DOST-SEI Undergraduate Scholarship Examination, only 13.85% made it to the top 400 slots enlisted for the EDSP and 50 slots for the CMWSP.
The results for the 2014 and 2015 OWWA scholarship exams were also announced after six (6) months.
No examination held in 2016 due to the implementation of the K-12 program. It was reinstated in 2017 with the first batch of senior high school students. Hence, the 450 scholarship qualifiers last year were the first batch of the K-12 system.
