THE SOUTHERN Luzon State University will partner with the Department of Health office in Quezon province to offer scholarship grants to SLSU students who are taking science courses.

Under the partnership, students enrolled in allied health sciences courses will have a chance to get financial aid from the Health department.

Officials of both institutions met recently to discuss the partnership and the accreditation of the SLSU birthing clinic.

Details on the financial aid for students was tackled during consultations on the proposed offering of BS Midwifery in SLSU.

The university said that if the partnership pushes through, SLSU will be the first state university in Calabarzon region to offer the scholarship grant.
