SM College Scholarship Partner Schools and Courses (Full List)

If you want to apply for the SM College Scholarship, you can only use it at one of SM Foundation’s partner schools. So before you look at anything else, check whether your school is on the list and whether your course is covered. I went through SM Foundation’s partner school list and put it here by region, so you don’t have to scroll through one long document.

This post covers the schools and courses only. For requirements, benefits, and how to apply, read my SM College Scholarship guide.

Quick summary

• What this list is: schools that partner with SM Foundation for the SM College Scholarship
• Covers: NCR, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao
• Courses: accounting and business, engineering, IT and computer science, education, and architecture (NU campuses only)Last application period I found: February 1-28, 2026

Is the application open now?

No. The online application period I found was February 1 to 28, 2026, and it has closed. I haven’t seen the dates for the next one, so I won’t guess. Use this list now to find out whether your school and course qualify, so you’re ready when SM Foundation announces the next dates.

Important: the list shows the covered courses and the partner schools separately. It doesn’t say which school offers which course. A school being on the list doesn’t mean every course above is open there, so confirm your exact school and course with SM Foundation or your school’s scholarship office.

How to use this list

1. Find your school. Check the region and province first. Some schools have several campuses, and only certain ones are listed, such as the NU campuses in NCR or the PUP campuses.
2. Check your campus. If your school is on the list but your campus isn’t named, ask before you assume.
3. Check your course. Compare your program with the courses above. Names can differ a little between schools, so the Electronics Engineering example is a good reminder to look for the closest match.
4. Ask your school. The scholarship office or the registrar can tell you whether your program is part of the SM partnership.
5. Read the requirements. Being at a partner school is only the first step. Grades, family income, and the other requirements are in my SM College Scholarship guide (I will add the link).

What this list doesn’t tell you

• Which course is offered at which school
• Whether every campus of a school is included, unless it’s named
• The next application dates
• Whether the partner school list changes from year to year

If your school isn’t here, don’t assume you can’t apply. Ask SM Foundation, since partner schools can change.

FAQ

Before you apply

I’m not part of SM Foundation, and I don’t process applications. Partner schools, courses, and dates can change, so check SM Foundation’s official page before you decide. If you spot a mistake in this list, email me at hello@scholarshipsph.com and I’ll fix it.
