The PCSO Educational Assistance Program is now accepting applications through the eGovPH mobile app and via email submission, following the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office’s partnership with the Bagong Pilipinas eGovPH Serbisyo Hub (BPeSH).
PCSO is the government agency mandated to generate and provide funds for health programs, medical assistance, and welfare-related initiatives of national character. While the agency is best known for its Medical Assistance Program, PCSO has expanded its support to include educational assistance for college students through the eGovPH platform.
The opening of applications was officially announced by the Bagong Pilipinas eGovPH Serbisyo Hub, and the information was subsequently shared by PTV and the Philippine Information Agency (PIA).
