Scholarship & Wellness Fund

The UP Linguistics Scholarship and Wellness Fund was established in August 2019 through the generous donations of the Department’s alumni.

Uses of the S&W Fund

The Linguistics S&W Fund aims to provide:

  • financial assistance to Linguistics majors in need;
  • funding support for Linguistics majors’ fieldwork and other linguistics-related research activities; and
  • funding support for our students participation in conferences, workshops, and competitions.

We are also envisioning that the fund could be used as a funding source for:

  • the organization of events such as career fairs and culture festivals; and
  • awards given to excellent student research papers, which will be presented at the annual Linguistics Student Research Colloquium.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the S&W Fund was also able to provide some small relief to its beneficiaries, which included Linguistics students and alumni, as well as a few support staff members of the Department whose families’ sources of livelihood were affected by COVID-19 and the lockdown.

How to Apply

All undergraduate and graduate students of the UP Department of Linguistics can apply for financial assistance drawn from the Linguistics S&W Fund. To apply, write a letter of request and send this along with relevant supporting documents to the Department’s email address linguistics.upd@up.edu.ph.

How to Donate

Your involvement and investment could have a lasting impact, not only on the lives of students but also on the preservation, promotion, and maintenance of Philippine languages.
