Article from www.ofwguide.com

Every parent dreams of seeing their sons or daughters received that much coveted college diploma. True enough, the high cost of education and few employment opportunities in the Philippines are some reasons why many Filipinos want to work abroad.

One project of Overseas Workers and Welfare Administration (OWWA) understands and address this need by providing 100 scholarship grants for deserving OFW dependents.


Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who are active OWWA members may apply their qualified dependents to be a possible scholar. Chosen scholars can enroll to any four or five-year course in college.

Director of OWWA in Region 8, Ma. Evangeline V. Filamor, informed that the deadline for submitting applications for the School Year 2008-2009 scholarship grant will be on October 31, 2007.

The scholarship is open to all children of married OWWA-member OFWs or if the OFW is single or unmarried, the scholarship may apply to their brother or sister. Applicants must be high school graduates below 21 years old, a citizen of the Philippines, in good physical condition, and is not a recipient of other scholarship grants. The scholarship grant is only provided once and is non transferable
