You’ll prepare four main documents for the Dowell Scholarship Program Documentary Requirements, along with your personal and school details for the online form.
Your academic requirement depends on whether you’re entering college or already studying in college, so check which one applies to you before you prepare your grades.
Start with your Certificate of Good Moral and your Certified True Copy of Report Card, since these two usually take the longest to prepare.
Overview
Documents to Prepare
This guide is based on the latest verified Dowell Scholar application cycle, from 2025. You’ll prepare the same four documents whether you’re an incoming or an ongoing college student, though your academic requirement will differ between the two, as explained further below.
The Full List
- Certificate of Good Moral from your previous or current school
- Certified True Copy of Report Card for School Year (SY) 2024 to 2025
- E-signature
- Certificate of Registration for Academic Year (AY) 2025 to 2026
Quick Look
| Document | What you’ll need |
|---|---|
| Certificate of Good Moral | A certificate from your previous or current school |
| Certified True Copy of Report Card | A certified copy of your Report Card for SY 2024 to 2025 |
| E-Signature | Your electronic signature for the online application |
| Certificate of Registration | Your Certificate of Registration for AY 2025 to 2026 |
Certificate of Good Moral
You’ll need a Certificate of Good Moral from your previous or current school. If you’re an incoming college student, you can request this from the school you previously attended. If you’re already in college, request it from your current school. Prepare a clear copy for your online application.
Certified True Copy of Report Card
You’ll need a Certified True Copy of your Report Card for SY 2024 to 2025. Make sure your school certifies the copy, and that your grades and other details are easy to read.
Your grades matter here, since Dowell sets a different academic requirement for incoming and ongoing college students. You’ll find both requirements under “How to Prepare Your Application” below.
E-Signature
You’ll also need an e-signature, meaning your signature saved as a digital file, for the online application. Prepare it before you start filling out the form, and follow the instructions shown in the application field when you add it.
Certificate of Registration
You’ll need your Certificate of Registration for AY 2025 to 2026. You can request or get this from your college or university. Make sure it clearly shows your enrollment information.
Personal Information to Prepare
The online application also asks for your personal details. Have this information ready before you start filling out the form, so you can enter everything correctly the first time.
School Information to Prepare
You’ll also provide details about your school or university, including:
- your school or university name
- your school type, either Public or Private
- your school address
- your school contact information
- your school background
Honors and Awards
You may also be asked about any honors and awards you’ve received. Prepare the achievements you’d like to include in your application.
College Course
You’ll need to state your college course, and the application also asks you to explain why you chose it. Take your time writing a clear, personal answer before you submit.
Where to Get Each Document

How Long Each Document Takes to Get
Your total preparation time depends on which documents you already have, and which ones you still need to request.
| Document | What can affect the wait |
|---|---|
| Certificate of Good Moral | Your school’s processing time |
| Certified True Copy of Report Card | Your school or Registrar’s processing time |
| E-Signature | How quickly you can prepare it yourself |
| Certificate of Registration | Whether you already have your registration copy |

If you still need certified school records, requesting them early makes it easier to finish your application on time.

Possible expenses include:
- Certificate of Good Moral processing
- Certified True Copy of Report Card processing
- Certificate of Registration processing
- photocopying, scanning, or printing
- internet access
- transportation, if you need to request any document in person
Check the current fee directly with your school or Registrar, since fees can change.

3. Request Your Certificate of Good Moral
Request this from your previous or current school, and check that it’s clear before you prepare it for upload.
4. Prepare Your Certified Report Card
Request a Certified True Copy of your Report Card from your school. Check that the certification, your grades, and your school details are all readable.
5. Prepare Your Certificate of Registration
Get your Certificate of Registration for AY 2025 to 2026 from your college or university, and keep a clear digital copy ready.
6. Prepare Your E-Signature

How You May Be Contacted
If you’re selected, Dowell may notify you by text message, phone call, or your registered email. Make sure the contact details on your application are correct.
Common Mistakes to Watch Out For
Forgetting one of the four documents. Before submitting, check that you have your Certificate of Good Moral, Certified True Copy of Report Card, e-signature, and Certificate of Registration.
Uploading an ordinary grade screenshot. The requirement is a Certified True Copy of your Report Card, so prepare the certified school record instead of an ordinary screenshot.
Using the wrong Report Card. For the latest verified cycle, the requirement was your Report Card for SY 2024 to 2025.
Forgetting your Certificate of Registration. This is separate from your Report Card, so prepare both.
Forgetting your e-signature. Have it ready before you complete the application.
Missing your academic requirement. If you’re already in college, check that your GWA is at least 1.50. If you’re an incoming college student, check that you have at least 93 in every Senior High School subject.
Entering incomplete school information. Prepare your school details before filling out the form, so you can enter them correctly.
Rushing your course explanation. Take time to answer why you chose your college course, in a way that reflects your own experience or goals.
Using inactive contact details. Make sure your phone number and email are active, since these may be used to contact you if you’re chosen.
