Sino ang puwedeng mag-apply?

• College students currently enrolled in a school, college or university in the Philippines.
• Based on the announcement, both public and private school students may apply as long as complete ang requirements.
• The program is for college level. Hindi kasama ang elementary at high school students sa announced guidelines.
• Freshmen on their first semester: walang previous-semester grades pa, so ask PCSO/BPeSH what to submit instead.

Requirements

1. Completed PCSO Educational Assistance Application Form with a recent 2×2 ID photo of the student
2. Certified true copy of the Certificate of Enrollment (COE) or Registration Form for the current semester
3. Photocopy of a valid government-issued ID of the student and of the parent or guardian
4. Photocopy of the student’s school ID
5. Certified true copy of the Billing Statement or Statement of Account (SOA)
6. Transcript of records or online report card/grades from the previous semester

Tip: Ang COE at SOA ay dapat certified true copy galing sa registrar o accounting office ng school. Ito ang madalas na kulang. Get the application form from BPeSH or PCSO directly; iwasan ang forms from unknown links.

Option 2: Email (para sa nasa labas ng Metro Manila)

1. Scan all requirements clearly (readable, hindi malabo o putol).
2. In the email body, write a short letter explaining your situation and why you need financial help with your studies.
3. Use this subject format: PCSO Educational Assistance [Full Name of Applicant]
4. Attach all documents and send to the PCSO email address in the official BPeSH announcement. Widely shared copies of the announcement list verna.soriano@pcso.gov.ph, but we could not confirm it on pcso.gov.ph, so double-check it on the official Bagong Pilipinas eGovPH Serbisyo Hub Facebook page first.
5. Wait for PCSO’s confirmation and feedback on your application.

Magkano ang makukuha?

Walang fixed amount na nakasaad sa official announcement. The amount depends on PCSO’s assessment of your needs and on available funds. Some applicants online say the help was paid directly to their school, but these are personal accounts, not official figures. Hintayin ang assessment ng PCSO para malaman ang approved amount.

May deadline ba?

No deadline was stated in the announcement, and applications are described as ongoing. Since it depends on available funds, mas mabuting mag-apply agad once complete na ang documents mo.

Tips para hindi ma-delay

• Get the certified true copies early. Registrars can take a few days.
• Use the current semester’s COE and SOA, hindi lumang semester.
• Make sure pareho ang spelling ng pangalan sa lahat ng IDs at documents.
• For email, combine scans into clear PDFs and keep file sizes small.
• Huwag magbayad sa fixers. Free ang pag-apply sa government assistance.
• Beware of fake pages asking for fees or personal info. Use only official PCSO, BPeSH or eGovPH channels.
