Scholarship quotas are allocated according to the number of students per section as follows:
Number of Students | Reserved | Merit | Total |
| 33 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| 44 | 3 | 1 | 4 |
If the number of students enrolled in a section is less than the standard quota, the number of scholarships is calculated as follows:
Student Enrollment | Scholarship Quota |
| Up to 4 | 0 |
| 5 to 14 | 1 |
| 15 to 24 | 2 |
| 25 to 34 | 3 |
| 35 to 44 | 4 |
Note:
- While calculating, any value above 0.5 will be rounded up, and any value up to 0.4 will be rounded down.
- However, the number of scholarships granted should not be less than what is allocated for 33 or 44 students per section.
- If additional sections are added, the scholarship quota must increase accordingly.
If the student quota differs from 33 or 44 per section as determined during the program's affiliation, this procedure does not apply.
