Qualified faculty member may apply for scholarship grants sponsored by local or international organization.

Local

These are scholarships sponsored by agencies such as the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC), Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and Professional Development Incentive Program (PDIP) of PNU.

International

International scholarships are those sponsored by agencies such as NEDA (National Economic and Development Agency) PROBE, Fulbright Foundation (USA), the Japan Ministry of Education (MONBUSHO) among others.

A faculty member who qualifies and maintains a scholarship receives the regular monthly salary and all benefits given to any faculty of PNU, aside from the scholarship allowances. S/he is required to sign a contract prepared by the HRMO. Immediately after finishing the scholarship, s/he is expected to return and serve the university in exchange for all the benefits granted.

Every year or fraction thereof that a faculty member has enjoyed a local scholarship is equivalent to one (1) year of service at PNU. On the other hand, every year or fraction thereof that a faculty member has enjoyed an international scholarship is equivalent to two (2) years of service at the university. Failure to fulfill this service obligation implies that the faculty member must pay back the university the full amount spent plus interests. The PNU President, in Coordination with the University Accountant, arranges the payment procedures for non-fulfillment of the service obligation.

A faculty member unable to maintain a scholarship and has received a leave-with-pay benefit is also required to refund the university all the expenses spent one year after the termination of the scholarship. Similarly, the PNU President, in coordination with the University Accountant, arranges the payment procedures.

Faculty member on scholarship with pay are not allowed to do outside teaching, unless they have permission from the University President. They are also required to submit a return-to-service report to their respective heads and finally to the President upon the termination of their scholarship leave.
