Frequently asked questions
Can I study for a Philippine degree while living abroad?
Yes. Many CHED-recognised schools offer fully online or distance programmes. Some may need you on campus for exams or practicum, and we’ll tell you before you apply.
I finished high school abroad. Can I enrol in a Philippine college?
Usually yes, but schools may ask for extra documents such as authenticated records or equivalency. The Abroad / Transferee Package covers this step by step.
Is there one national law school entrance exam?
No. Each law school sets its own admission requirements, which may include an entrance test, an interview and a minimum grade. We prepare you for the schools you choose.
Can you get me a scholarship?
We can’t award scholarships, but our free Scholarship Calendar shows open scholarships, their requirements and deadlines, and we help you prepare your documents.
What if I’m not accepted?
We help you move to the next school on your list. Unused parts of your package become FI Credit.
How do I contact you?
By email, so every request has a record and a case number. Use our Ask us page or write to [email protected].
