Requests for Processing or Slot Fees
Beware of fixers or social media pages asking for GCash/Maya transfers for "guaranteed slots," processing, or membership fees. Our directory automatically excludes fee-charging schemes from public search.

How to Spot Scholarship Scams & Protect Your Information
Golden rule: Legitimate scholarships never charge an application fee, processing fee, testing fee, or slot-reservation fee.
Warning Signs & Red Flags to Avoid
Never send money or share banking/wallet PINs or OTPs to claim a scholarship.
Phishing Forms Asking for PINs, OTPs, or Passwords
No government agency or university will ever ask for your GCash MPIN, Maya password, bank OTP, or social media password. Always verify that the portal uses an authentic official domain (.gov.ph, .edu.ph, or verified foundation site).
Check the Verification Date & Official Source Link
Every listing on Scholarship Finder PH links directly to the official announcement and shows when the source was last checked. If a listing was checked 30 or more days ago, always re-confirm dates on the provider’s page.
Report a Suspicious Link or Outdated Listing
