Applying for a scholarship usually means preparing records that prove your grades, identity, financial situation, and school status.
These General Scholarship Application Documents Checklist may include academic records, civil registry documents, proof of income, admission or enrollment records, IDs, photos, certifications, essays, recommendations, and other supporting documents.
Use the checklist below to identify what you may need, then check the scholarship’s current official requirements for the exact documents that apply to you.
Overview
Who might need scholarship application documents Checklist?
You may need scholarship application documents if you’re applying for:
- a Junior or Senior High School scholarship
- an incoming college scholarship
- a scholarship while already studying in college
- an educational grant for the dependent of an employee, farmer, OFW, seafarer, or other qualified person
- a merit-based scholarship
- a need-based scholarship
- a TVET scholarship
- a master’s or doctoral scholarship
- a research-focused scholarship
The documents you need can change depending on your school level, current student status, family situation, and the scholarship’s rules.
For example, GBF’s 2026 STEM-College Scholarship asks incoming students for Grade 12 academic records and admission or application proof. Continuing students in second year and above instead submit recent college grades.
We explain these differences in more detail in the student-status guides linked later in this article.
What are General Scholarship Application Documents Checklist?
General Scholarship Application Documents are the forms, records, certificates, and other supporting documents you may be asked to prepare when applying for a scholarship.
They can help a scholarship provider verify:
- your academic record
- your admission or enrollment
- your family income or financial circumstances
- your identity
- your school and course
- your relationship to another qualified person
- your residency
- a special eligibility condition
- other information needed to evaluate your application
A broad requirement may also have several possible documents.
For example, Proof of Income or Financial Capacity could mean an ITR for one family, an overseas employment contract for another, proof of pension for another, or a BIR or indigency document for someone with little or no regular income.
Current CHED and GBF scholarship requirements show several of these different income-document pathways.
What kind of scholarship application documents might you need?
The General Scholarship Application Documents below cover the main types of records and supporting information you may encounter.
The checklist is arranged alphabetically from A to Z so you can quickly find the document category you’re looking for.
- Academic Records
- Affidavits, Consent Forms, or Declarations
- Applicant Photo
- Application Form
- Awards or Achievement Records
- Birth or Civil Registry Documents
- Essays or Personal Statements
- Good Moral or Character Certification
- Graduate or Research Documents
- Health or Medical Documents
- Household or Home-Address Documents
- Identification Documents
- Proof of Admission
- Proof of Enrollment
- Proof of Income or Financial Capacity
- Proof of Relationship
- Recommendation Documents
- Residency or Barangay Documents
- Special-Status Documents
You may only need some of these. The scholarship’s official requirements determine which documents you actually need to prepare.
Academic Records
Scholarships may use academic records to check your grades, class rank, year level, academic standing, or previous studies.
Because educational progression is easier to understand than alphabetical order here, this table follows school level instead.
| Applicant situation | Academic records you may encounter |
|---|---|
| Elementary or JHS applicant | Report Card, school certification |
| Senior High School student | Current or previous SHS grades |
| SHS graduate | SF9/Form 138 |
| Current college student | Certificate of Grades or Certified True Copy of Grades |
| Transferee | Latest college grades or TOR |
| Master’s applicant | Undergraduate TOR |
| Doctoral applicant | Undergraduate and graduate TOR |
Other records you may encounter include:
- Certificate of Grades
- class-ranking certification
- course curriculum or prospectus
- Form 137
- GWA Certification
- honors certification
- Program of Study
- school grading system
- Transcript of Records or TOR
Example: GBF’s current STEM-College Scholarship asks incoming college students for a Grade 12 Report Card or Form 137, while continuing students in second year and above submit Certified True Copies of recent college grades.
What to do: Use the exact academic record requested. Form 137, SF9/Form 138, Certificate of Grades, and TOR should not automatically be treated as substitutes for one another.
Affidavits, Consent Forms, or Declarations
Some scholarships require a signed or notarized statement when a certain situation applies.
Possible documents include:
- Affidavit of Guardianship
- Affidavit of Low Income/No Income
- Affidavit of Non-Filing of ITR
- Affidavit of Source of Income
- applicant declaration
- declaration concerning another scholarship
- Parent/Guardian Consent Form
Some scholarship providers supply their own required wording or template.
For example, UP Diliman’s 2026 Gold Eagle College Scholarship allows an applicant to use a notarized Affidavit of Source of Income when the required ITR is unavailable, but it specifically requires the provided InLife Foundation template.
What to do: Check for a prescribed form before preparing or notarizing an affidavit yourself.
Applicant Photo
A scholarship may ask for:
- 1×1 photo
- 2×2 photo
- passport-size photo
- photo with name tag
- recent digital portrait
Check the:
- background
- dimensions
- file format
- file-size limit
- name-tag requirement
- recency requirement
Different programs use different formats. DOST-SEI’s 2026 undergraduate requirements specify a recent passport-size picture, while Panasonic Scholarship Asia 2026 asks for a 2×2 picture.
Application Form
Most scholarships have their own application form, online portal, or application system.
The application may ask for your:
- academic information
- address
- awards or activities
- birth details
- contact information
- course
- family and household information
- income information
- parent or guardian information
- personal information
- previous scholarships

Always use the application form or portal for the current scholarship cycle.
Awards or Achievement Records
Some merit-based and competitive scholarships ask for proof of your accomplishments.
Possible records include:
- academic-award certificates
- activity certificates
- class-ranking certification
- community-service records
- competition certificates
- honors certification
- leadership certificates
- publication records
- research achievements
- student portfolio
Only submit these if the scholarship asks for achievements or accepts them as supporting evidence.
Aboitiz Foundation’s current Future Leaders Scholarship, for example, asks for copies of certificates covering college leadership, awards, or seminars.
Birth or Civil Registry Documents
Scholarships may use civil registry records to verify your:
- age
- citizenship
- civil status
- identity
- parents
- relationship to another person
Possible documents include:
- Birth Certificate
- CENOMAR, when specifically required
- Local Civil Registry Birth Certificate, when accepted
- Marriage Certificate, when applicable
- PSA Birth Certificate
Check whether the scholarship specifically asks for a PSA-issued Birth Certificate or accepts another type of civil registry record.

The scholarship may ask about:
- your academic or career goals
- challenges you’ve experienced
- community involvement

- leadership
- reasons for choosing your course
- reasons for applying
Follow the exact question, required format, and word limit.
Do not assume that one general scholarship essay can be submitted to every program.
Good Moral or Character Certification
Possible requirements include:
- Certificate of Good Moral Character
- Certificate of Good Moral Standing
- prescribed Good Moral form
- school character certification
If the scholarship supplies its own Good Moral form, use that form instead of automatically requesting a generic certificate.
DOST-SEI’s 2026 undergraduate scholarship uses a prescribed Certificate of Good Moral Character among its documentary requirements.
Graduate or Research Documents
Graduate scholarship applications can involve additional documents that undergraduate applicants normally do not need.
| Document | When it may become relevant |

- Certificate of Good Health
- Medical Certificate
- medical clearance
- medical examination results
- prescribed medical or health form
Before requesting one, check:
- how recent it must be

Household or Home-Address Documents
Some need-based scholarships ask for additional evidence about your household or residence.
Possible documents or information include:
- electricity bill
- exterior or interior house photos
- family or guardian photograph
- home-address map
- internet or telephone bill
- letter explaining the family’s financial situation
- proof of billing
- rental receipt
- vicinity sketch of residence
- water bill
These requirements can look unusual, but they do appear in actual scholarship programs.
Example: Mapúa’s current Alfonso T. Yuchengco Scholarship requires proof of utility billing and a Vicinity Sketch of Residence showing major streets, landmarks, and the applicant’s home. It also asks for a detailed parent or guardian letter explaining the family’s financial circumstances.
Megaworld Foundation’s current requirements also include utility bills and a photograph of the applicant with their family or guardian.
What to do: Don’t prepare a home sketch, house photos, or utility records unless the scholarship specifically asks for them.
Identification Documents
Possible identification documents include:
- company or employee ID
- government-issued ID
- membership ID
- parent or guardian ID
- School ID
Panasonic Scholarship Asia 2026 specifically asks for a School ID, while Security Bank Foundation’s Agency Scholarship requires a copy of the qualified employee’s company ID.
Proof of Admission
Incoming students may need proof that they’ve applied to or been accepted by an eligible school or program.
Possible documents include:
- Admission Letter
- Admission Slip
- Certificate of Acceptance
- entrance-examination result

Proof of Enrollment
Possible records include:
- assessment of fees
- Certificate of Enrollment
- Certificate of Matriculation
- Certificate of Registration or COR
- current class schedule
- enrollment assessment
- Registration Card
- Registration Form
These documents may help confirm your:
- academic load
- course
- current semester
- school
- year level
Megaworld Foundation’s current requirements include a Certificate of Enrollment or Registration Form, while higher-year applicants may also need a full-load enrollment assessment or Registration Form with class schedule.
Proof of Income or Financial Capacity
The correct income document often depends on how the household earns money.
Quick Proof-of-Income Guide
| Family or income situation | Documents you may encounter |
|---|---|
| Employed locally | ITR, BIR Form 2316 when accepted, Certificate of Employment with Compensation, payslip |
| Low or no regular income | BIR exemption document, Certification of Low/No Income, Certificate of Indigency, Social Case Study Report, applicable affidavit |
| OFW | Overseas employment contract, Certificate of Employment, accepted proof of overseas income |
| Other or informal income | Income evidence specifically accepted by the scholarship |
| Pension-dependent | Proof of pension, pension certification, pension voucher |
| Seafarer | Employment contract, Certificate of Employment, accepted proof of compensation |
| Self-employed or business owner | ITR, BIR Form 1701 when applicable, business or financial records |
GBF’s current STEM-College requirements illustrate several different income pathways, including employed or self-employed parents, OFWs, pension-dependent households, ride-hailing income, and households without a regular taxable source of income.
CHED’s current Merit Scholarship guidelines also recognize different income documents, including a latest contract or proof of income for children of OFWs and seafarers.
For people with low or no income who need a BIR exemption certificate for scholarship purposes, BIR’s 2026 Citizen’s Charter Service 20 requires a Barangay Certification of Low Income/No Income and a notarized Affidavit of Low Income/No Income.
What to do: Follow the exact alternatives listed by your scholarship. A Certificate of Indigency, ITR, payslip, BIR certificate, and employment contract should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
Proof of Relationship
Some scholarship programs require you to prove that you’re related to another qualified person.
This may apply to dependents of:
- employees
- farmers
- organization members
- OFWs
- seafarers
- other qualified beneficiaries
Possible documents include:
- Birth Certificate
- legal guardianship record
- Marriage Certificate
- parent’s Birth Certificate
- relationship or membership certification
GrabScholar’s current college scholarship is a useful example of how birth, marriage, or legal guardianship documentation can change depending on who is applying and their relationship to the student.
Recommendation Documents
Possible requirements include:
- Dean’s Recommendation
- employer recommendation
- professor endorsement
- Recommendation Form
- Recommendation Letter
- teacher recommendation
Panasonic Scholarship Asia 2026 currently requires a Recommendation Letter from the Dean.
If a scholarship provides a prescribed Recommendation Form, give that form to the person recommending you.
Residency or Barangay Documents
| Document | What it may help confirm |
|---|---|
| Barangay Certification | A specific local fact required by the scholarship |
| Barangay Clearance | When directly required |
| Certificate of Indigency | Indigency or financial need |
| Certificate of Residency | Residence or length of residence |
| Low/No Income Certification | Income status |
These documents have different purposes.
DOST-SEI’s 2026 undergraduate scholarship, for example, specifically includes a Certificate of Residency among its required forms.
Special-Status Documents
Some scholarships provide eligibility, priority, or additional consideration to particular applicant groups.
Possible documents include:
- 4Ps or DSWD certification
- farmer or fisherfolk certification
- Indigenous Peoples or NCIP certification
- membership certification
- PDAO Certification
- PWD ID
- Social Case Study Report
- Solo Parent ID
- other status-specific certifications
Specialized scholarships can require even more specific proof.
For example, GBF’s STEM-Agri Scholarship may require documents such as proof of farming, farmer-organization membership, land title, tax declaration, or a barangay certificate depending on the scholarship pathway.
Only prepare special-status documents when the category applies to you and the scholarship asks for proof.

What should you check before requesting scholarship documents?
Check the exact document name
Similar records can have different purposes.
For example:
- Certificate of Grades
- Form 137
- SF9/Form 138
- Transcript of Records
are different academic records.
Likewise:
- Certificate of Employment
- Certificate of Indigency
- ITR
- BIR exemption certificate
are different financial records.
Check whose document is required
The scholarship may need a document belonging to:
- you
- your father
- your legal guardian
- your mother
- both parents
- your spouse
- another household member
- the qualified employee, farmer, OFW, seafarer, or member
Check whether the document applies to your situation
Some records are only relevant if you’re:
- a current student
- a dependent
- a graduate applicant
- an incoming student
- an OFW family member
- applying under a special category
- under a legal guardian
Check whether the scholarship provides its own form
A provider may have its own:

- school certification
Use the prescribed form when one is required.
Check how recent the document must be
A scholarship may require a recently issued:
- Certificate of Enrollment
- Good Moral certification
- income document
- Medical Certificate
- NBI Clearance
- residency document
Check the required copy or file format
A program may require:
- Certified True Copy
- clear scanned copy
- JPG or PNG
- original
- photocopy
- specific file-size limit
Megaworld Foundation, for example, currently instructs applicants to prepare clear scanned copies for the online application and keep the physical documents for later submission.
How do you prepare your scholarship documents?
- Read the complete official scholarship requirements.
- Copy the exact document names into your own checklist.
- Identify which requirements apply to your situation.
- Check whose document is required.
- Group the documents by issuing office.
- Request documents that may take longer first.
- Use prescribed forms when provided.
- Check signatures, certifications, and notarization requirements.
- Check how recent each document must be.
- Check the required copy and upload format.
- Scan every page clearly.
- Check names, dates, grades, income figures, and other details for consistency.
- Review the official checklist again before submitting.
- Keep copies of your final application and documents.
How long does it take to get scholarship documents?
Processing time depends on the specific document and issuing office.
This table is arranged alphabetically.
| Document or requirement | Current timing information |
|---|---|
| Academic Records | Depends on your school or registrar |
| Admission Documents | Depends on the school’s admission process |
| BIR Certificate of Exemption for Scholarship and Job/Livelihood Programs | 6 hours and 5 minutes total government processing time under BIR’s 2026 Citizen’s Charter |
| Barangay Documents | Depends on the barangay’s current procedure or Citizen’s Charter |
| Employment Documents | Depends on the employer |
| Enrollment Documents | Depends on the school or registrar |
| Good Moral Character | Depends on the issuing school |
| Medical Certificate | Depends on the health provider and examination required |
| NBI Clearance | Depends on the current process and applicant circumstances |
| PSA Civil Registry Documents through PSA Serbilis | About 3 to 9 working days after payment for delivery within the Philippines; additional time may apply if manual searching is needed |
| Recommendation Documents | Depends on the recommender |
BIR’s 2026 Citizen’s Charter gives Service 20, the Certificate of Exemption for Scholarship and Job/Livelihood Programs, a total processing time of 6 hours and 5 minutes. Its checklist requires Low Income/No Income certification, a notarized affidavit, and proof of the required Documentary Stamp Tax.
For PSA Serbilis requests delivered within the Philippines, the current service terms state that processing and delivery of paid requests generally take around 3 to 9 working days after payment. PSA also notes that manual search and retrieval can add 10 to 15 working days in applicable cases.
What to do: Start early when your scholarship requires documents from several different offices, but don’t request time-sensitive certificates too early if the program requires them to be recently issued.
How much does it cost to prepare scholarship documents?
There is no fixed total because the amount depends on the documents your scholarship actually requires.
The table below gives a number only where a current published amount could be verified.
| Document or service | Current published amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Academic Records | Varies | Check your school or registrar |
| Barangay Documents | Varies | Check your barangay’s current fee schedule or Citizen’s Charter |
| BIR Certificate of Exemption for Scholarship and Job/Livelihood Programs | ₱30 | Loose Documentary Stamp Tax; BIR lists a total processing fee of ₱30 |
| Employment Documents | Depends on employer | Check your employer |
| Medical Documents | Varies | Depends on the provider and examination required |
| Notarized Affidavits | Varies | Depends on the notary and document |
| PSA Birth, Marriage, or Death Certificate – CRS/mobile issuance rate | ₱155 per copy | Current 2026 PSA-published rate |
| PSA Birth, Marriage, or Death Certificate – PSA Serbilis | ₱330 per copy | Current 2026 online rate for delivery within the Philippines |
| PSA CENOMAR – CRS/mobile issuance rate | ₱210 per copy | Current 2026 PSA-published rate |
| PSA CENOMAR – PSA Serbilis | ₱430 per copy | Current 2026 online rate |
| Recommendation Documents | Depends on the situation | Usually obtained from the required recommender |
BIR’s current 2026 Citizen’s Charter lists ₱30 as the total processing fee for the Certificate of Exemption for Scholarship and Job/Livelihood Programs. The amount is for the loose Documentary Stamp Tax.
PSA’s June 2026 published civil registry service rates show ₱155 for Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates and ₱210 for CENOMAR.
For PSA Serbilis online requests within the Philippines, PSA’s February 20, 2026 public advisory lists:
- Birth Certificate — ₱330 per copy
- Marriage Certificate — ₱330 per copy
- Death Certificate — ₱330 per copy
- CENOMAR — ₱430 per copy
Tiered pricing may apply when requesting more than one copy.
What to do: For entries marked varies, check the issuing office itself. Avoid relying on a supposed nationwide price for school records, barangay documents, medical certificates, or notarization because these can differ.
