Are any of you a DOST Scholar here?

Hi po, I'm planning to apply for the DOST Scholarship. But I would just like to ask, is it worth it po ba? How does it work?

May kakilala po kasi kami na DOST Scholar. They say na sila daw po mismo ang pipili ng course mo sa college, not you. I don't mind it naman as long as may magpapaaral sa akin hehe, but totoo po ba yun or I was just misinformed?

Thank you po!
