Each seller can nominate only one child. The nomination period starts on July 18, 2019 and ends on August 2, 2019.
To nominate a child, sellers must fill out and submit this online form. The Shopee Scholars nominee must write and submit an essay.
Winners will be judged based on the following criteria:

The scholarship program is applicable only to accredited tertiary schools and universities in the Philippines. Nominees who are already scholars of other scholarship programs are not qualified to participate in the Shopee Scholars program.
