Fake Presidential Scholarship Ads Circulate Online
Written by Staff Reporter on January 16, 2025
The Office of the President and Cabinet’s Presidential and National Scholarships Department has dismissed circulating social media advertisements for scholarship programs, stating that it is yet to release its official scholarship advertisements for 2025.
In a press statement, the department clarified that the viral advertisements, though seemingly from official sources, contain inaccurate and misleading information. It further noted that the content was plagiarized from its 2024 advertisements.
The department urged the public and prospective applicants to rely only on its official advertisements, which are published in formal print media and aired on national radio and television stations with all government attributes.
