ABOUT BRAINS AND THE UPCAT REVIEW SCHOLARSHIP
Equalizing opportunity through rigorous and fair preparation.
WHO WE ARE THE SCHOLARSHIPS
BRAINS Training and Review is the country’s pioneer in preparation programs for qualifying examinations such as the UPCAT, NMAT, and UPLAE, and is widely recognized for its innovative curricula for licensure reviews in Chemistry and Medicine.
The BRAINS UPCAT Review began in 1990 with only a handful of students. Founded and managed by University of the Philippines alumni, the review was born out of a shared conviction: that success in the UPCAT should not depend on the privilege of one’s school. To help level the field, BRAINS launched a knowledge-based review program designed to give every UP aspirant a fair chance to compete.
Starting mid-1990s, the BRAINS UPCAT Review Scholarship opened its doors to public high school students. Though company resources were limited, its scholars proved that when given access to quality preparation, they could — and did — excel.
Today, as pandemic-era students face the lingering effects of disrupted learning — from rushed modules to uneven online instruction — BRAINS renews its commitment to equalizing opportunity. The revived UPCAT Review Scholarship once again extends a bridge to deserving students who cannot afford premium review programs, helping them gain the knowledge, confidence, and readiness they need to rise to the challenge of the UPCAT.
