The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is mandated by law to develop, administer and implement comprehensive social welfare programs designed to uplift the living conditions and empower the disadvantaged children, youth, women, older persons, persons with disabilities, families in crisis or at-risk and communities needing assistance.

What is the DSWD Educational Assistance Program?

The DSWD educational assistance program is financial aid for the education of certain eligible people. Back in March of 2018, they clarified that they were not offering a scholarship; they were offering a type of educational assistance for indigent students and other qualified students.

Who is qualified to apply for DSWD’s educational assistance program?

The announcement from DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo states that the people qualified to avail the DSWD educational assistance program are the following:

• Breadwinner
• Working student
• Has no family/Living with relative
• Child of a solo parent
• Has parents with no source of living
• Child of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
• Children of Persons With Disabilities (PWDs)
• Children of HIV victims
• Victim of Domestic Abuse
• Victims of natural disasters

Three children from each household are entitled to apply and enroll in the DSWD Educational Assistance Program. Of course, telling DSWD what’s going on doesn’t seem right. They must request the department to verify and approve their application.

Which students can apply?

According to the announcement, the DSWD Educational Assistance Program is open to elementary or grade school students, high school students, and vocational/college level students.

“Magsisimula ang Educational Assistance payout sa ika-20 ng Agosto 2022 at sa mga susunod na Sabado – Agosto 27, Setyembre 3, 10, 17 at 24,” Sec. E. Tulfo said in a Facebook post.

To all parents and students who are inquiring about how much they’re going to get, elementary students will receive P1,000; P2,000 for high school students; P3,000 for Senior High School, and last but definitely not the least vocational/college level students will receive P4,000.
