Commission on Higher Education(CHED)

To whom it may concern,
Good day!
I am a graduate of engineering course which is not an apt undergrad program identified as prerequisite for a Doctor of Medicine. And i am planning to obtain the minimum required units for certain subjects such as biology, organic chemistry, social science, etc., to be viable as nontraditional medical student plus the required score in NMAT.
Will I have a chance to avail of the scholarship grant of the gov't? I have to know to determine if my hope on the enactment of ra 11509 is a lost cause or not for non traditional medical students.
Thanks,
Noel
