Graduating students in technology and communications courses have until October 24, 2026 to apply for the DigiPlus Foundation’s FutureSmart College Scholarship for Academic Year 2026-2027, which provides up to ₱100,000 in educational support.
The foundation announced on its Facebook page that applications opened on September 24, specifically for 4th-year students taking IT- or communications-related programs.
DigiPlus Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of DigiPlus Interactive Corp. Its FutureSmart program runs two tracks: a college scholarship and an IT credential program. According to the foundation, the program has produced 94 college scholars and 49 IT credential scholars so far, with 82 percent of credential scholars finding employment within six months of finishing their training.
The foundation aims to award 300 new scholarship slots this cycle. Scholars receive ₱100,000 worth of educational support per school year, released monthly throughout the scholarship period. They also get access to programs on soft skills, leadership, and workplace readiness.

How to apply for the FutureSmart College Scholarship
Applications are submitted online through the application link. Applicants should prepare their documents before filling out the form.
After submission, the foundation will contact applicants by email, SMS, or phone call to validate their application details and explain the next steps. Results will be announced on DigiPlus Foundation’s social media pages.
The foundation said late or incomplete submissions will not be accepted once the application period closes on October 24, and it encouraged applicants to submit early because slots are limited and the review takes time.
The scholarship does not guarantee employment after graduation. Scholars may apply for jobs at DigiPlus Interactive Corp. and its affiliated companies, but they will go through the standard hiring process.
For questions, applicants may email the foundation or message its official Facebook page, including their full name for faster assistance.
