Dear NSTP Graduate,

NSTP: does it really make a difference? With so many demands on your time
and resources, it is worth enrolling? Do the training programs and community projects
impact your study or your life? We want to find answers to these and other questions in
our research along NSTP curriculum of the University of Pangasinan.
You are important to the success of this study! Please provide information and
share your experience and opinions with us. The information you provide will increase
our knowledge of effective NSTP and community extension programs. It will also help
the coordinator and facilitators improve the program for future NSTP students and
community projects.
Your participation in this study is voluntary and there is no loss of benefits if you
decline to respond. We will keep all responses strictly confidential and will not disclose
