MOL Magsaysay Maritime Academy<\/a> (MMMA) welcomed 340 student applicants last July 1, 2019. Out of more than 2000 applicants, only few are chosen. Welcome Aboard MMMA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Welcome<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I went there last year for <\/em>my brother’s move in day.<\/em><\/a> This time, I went there to document the move in day of the second batch. It’s not super grand like the move in ceremony last year. There’s no photo booth and the campus tour became a virtual tour. <\/em>Why? Because all of them are still on probation. The actual move in day will be on July 31, 2019. Only those who will survive the one month intensive training will be accepted as students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    MMMA Scholarship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I asked their Facebook Page about scholarship and I got this reply: “We don’t offer scholarships at the moment but we have a financial assistance program which is the Study Now Pay Later Program (SNPL). Please be informed that the SNPL is still being processed with our partner financial institution. Once pushed through, the candidate is subject to evaluation and must pass all the assessment test and series of interview in order to be entitled for the said program. The SNPL is given for qualified underprivileged students only.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
