The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) continues to extend its support to Filipino students through the PCSO Educational Assistance Program (EAP). This program provides financial assistance to college students enrolled in both public and private schools nationwide, helping them cope with rising tuition and school-related expenses.
If you’re planning to apply this 2026, here’s everything you need to know.
📌 What is the PCSO Educational Assistance?
The PCSO Educational Assistance is a financial aid program aimed at helping qualified students cover their tuition and other school fees. It is part of the government’s Bagong Pilipinas: eGovPH Serbisyo Hub (BPeSH) initiative, which makes government services more accessible and convenient for Filipinos.
Unlike scholarships that are merit-based, this assistance is designed to help students from low-income families who are struggling financially.
👩🎓 Who Can Apply?
All college students currently enrolled in accredited public or private schools across the Philippines may apply, provided they can present the required documents.
Applicants may submit their requirements in person through BPeSH hubs or via email if they are from distant provinces.
