For Applicants with Specific Education Needs

SEN applicants refer to those who have a physical disability (e.g., heart condition, visual/hearing impairment), specific learning needs (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD, ASD), or a psychological/mental health condition that affected schooling before/or may affect schooling at Benilde.
SEN applicants are advised to apply earlier to avoid delays in application processing.
