According to OWWA Region 12, five (5) OFW dependents from the Soccsksargen region passed the qualifying exams for two scholarship programs of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA).
The new scholars of OWWA Region 12 is set to visit the office at Koronadal City for courtesy call to OWWA-12 Dir. Abdulghani Umag on Friday, April 5.
OWWA-ARMM also announced that 2 deserving OFW children from the region were awarded.
OWWA-ARMM also announced that 2 deserving OFW children from the region were awarded.
The 2012 OWWA EDSP examination is given by the DOST-SEI simultaneously in Manila, Batangas, Pangasinan, Cavite, Davao City, Laguna, NCR, Iligan City, Tagbilaran City, Naga City, Iligan City, Negros Occidental, Butuan City, Bataan. Same examination is administered in Riyadh and Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and State of Bahrain.
OWWA is the government welfare institution that protects and promotes the interest of member-Overseas Filipino Workers. It develops responsive programs and services for the social protection of its members. One of their programs is the Education for Development Scholarship Program (EDSP).
In EDSP, scholarships for qualified dependents of OFWs consisting of a maximum of Php 60,000.00 per school year, leading to a four-to-five year baccalaureate course in any college or university is given.
The EDSP is a competitive study grants program that puts premium on the academic profile of the applicant more than his economic status. This means the qualified OFW dependent could avail of the program regardless of the OFW benefactor’s salary bracket.
Competition becomes tougher when only the top 100 passers are granted financial assistance per school year.
A passer of CMWSP, on the other hand, is entitled for inactive OFWs not more than 45 years or their children not more than 21 years old who wish to take up science and technology courses at any CHED accredited school within the region. This grant includes tuition fee and other school fees of P10,000 per semester, monthly stipend of P3,500, book allowance of P1,000, and clothing allowance of P500.
Passers that do not qualify in the EDSP still get a chance for other scholarship programs such as the OFW Dependents Scholarship Program (ODSP). Under this program, salary bracket is given main consideration, among them OFW benefactors earning US$400 and below per month. In fact, the Education and Training Unit (ETU) has already marked applications from the roster whose salaries are below US$400 should they fail in the EDSP to automatically transfer their names to the ODSP.
