    Hi! im a seafare and currently onboard ship. Just to know if there is any way that I can apply for a short course scholarship on your office while i’m onboard. I want to take a short course about electrical on MFI Ortigas but the course that I want to take will start at April 6 2013 same but i will i arrive at the phil at april 8.
    I already spoke to MFI regarding this matter they say that I can send someone on my behalf to enroll me on this course. Is there any chance that I can do for my expenses to be covered by your program? I’m a member of regular member of OWWA.
    thank you for considering my situation.
    Have a great day! Godbless
