KORONADAL CITY, South Cotabato, Feb. 20 (PIA) -- Soccsksargen Region’s Office of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA-12) here has announced the opening of the Education for Development Scholarship Program (EDSP) for school year 2013-2014. | |||
OWWA 12 Regional Director Abdulgani K. Umag said, the scholarship is open to all graduating high school students who are children or dependents of active OWWA members. | |||
“We have already coordinated with schools all over the region to inform their students who are either children or dependents of OFW workers to already apply for the scholarship grant,” Umag said. | |||
Application forms are available at the OWWA-12 Office at Reyes Subdivision, Barangay Morales, this city. | |||
“Interested students may also get application forms from the public OFW desk officer of their local government unit,” he said. | |||
Deadline of the submission of application forms is on August 31, 2012. The qualifying examination , which Umag said will be administered by the Department of Science and Technology may be held either in November or December this year. | |||
Umag also encouraged interested students to file their application forms earlier because there are documents that need to be submitted to prove that they are bona fide dependents of active OFW members. | |||
“We want to be assured that their parents are still working abroad and are active OWWA members because the money spent for the scholarship belongs to OFWs who paid their contributions,” he explained. “We cannot use the funds to children of undocumented workers.” | |||
