The scholarship of students who attend the English Preparatory Program for one year, and have a yearly total of 50.00 or above, or students who score a minimum 50 in any one of the English Proficiency Exams they take continues for another year. In other words, they can repeat the English Preparatory Program under the same scholarship. However, a student must not fail due to absenteeism because such students will not have a yearly total as they have not completed a year at the English Preparatory Program. The only way such students can repeat the English Preparatory Program under a scholarship is to score a minimum 50 in the only English Proficiency Exam they can take, which is the exam administered in September.
