Science Education Institute
The Department of Science and Technology-Science Education Institute (abbreviated as DOST-SEI) is one of the service institutes of the Philippines' Department of Science and Technology. It is tasked to increase the number of science and technology professionals in the Philippines by administering science and technology scholarships, awards and grants, and formulating and implementing projects to promote science and technology among youth, teachers, and the general public.[1] The scholarship beneficiaries are popularly known as DOST scholars.
Programs and projects
Science and technology scholarships
DOST-SEI offers various scholarships in the undergraduate and graduate levels. As return of service, scholars are required to practice science and technology in the Philippines, for a period depending on the years they enjoyed their scholarship.[2] Most scholars come from economically disadvantaged families, but also provides "Merit Scholarships" for those above a certain economic level.[3]

The agency implements various projects to engage the youth in science and technology, promote science and engineering careers, and encourage students to apply for DOST scholarships.[4] Among these programs and competitions are:
- # Push4Science[5]
- Youth Excellence in Science (YES) Awards[6]
- Climate Science Youth Camp[7]
- imake.wemake[8]
- Indie-Siyensya[9]
- Tagisang Robotics: Design, Build, and Play[10]; and
- Science Explorer[11]
