Hello everyone, I'm Faye Andrea L. Untalan and together with my team—Rojan Nathalie E. Futol, John Ivan B. Policarpio, and Justine Laurence M. Peralta— We filed a petition regarding integration of scholarships for liberal arts students.

Education in the Philippines offers many scholarship opportunities, opening doors for countless students However, most of these scholarships focus on STEM fields, leaving out the importance of liberal arts education. It's time to provide funding for students studying humanities and social sciences, recognizing their value in society.

We need to acknowledge the significance of liberal arts in shaping critical thinking and understanding societal dynamics. By expanding scholarship offerings, we can offer to a broader range of academic interests and talents. Investing in liberal arts education addresses the skills gap and produces graduates with essential skills like communication and logical thinking leading to problem-solving skills.

Let's advocate for scholarships dedicated to liberal arts courses to ensure overall opportunities in education and inclusive development for Filipino scholars. Sign this petition to support the importance of humanities and social sciences in our education system.
