BPC is given a Student Publications Grant scholarship by DLS-CSB.

Qualified staffers who have complied with requirements by SPU and the Scholarship and Grants Unit (SGU) will be eligible to receive a scholarship.

SPU prioritizes providing scholarships to full-fledged editors and high-performing staffers. Furthermore, scholarships are given on a per-term basis; which means that if a staffer is granted a scholarship this term, they are not guaranteed the scholarship next term.

For more information on scholarships, you may contact us on our Facebook page or email us at thebenildean@benilde.edu.ph.
