The
University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) signed two Memorandums of
Agreement (MOA) from Lifebank Foundation, Inc. (LBF) and Overseas
Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) on May 26, 2014.
The MOAs between USeP and the two other agencies are in line with the
University’s goal to pursue its mission further, with the extent of
reaching out to various for-profit and non-profit organizations.
Offering scholarship grants to deserving students is one way of
fulfilling the University’s social responsibility. Aside from
maintaining a higher quality of education, the University also aims to
make this learning opportunity accessible to students from all facets of
life.
Lifebank Foundation, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit organization by
virtue of the Philippine Law with juridical capacity which was
represented by Mr. Manuel P. Perlas, President, LBF. The MOA undertakes
to provide financial assistance including tuition and miscellaneous fees
to the qualified scholar.
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration on the other hand is a
government agency attached to the Department of Labor and Employment.
Headed by Mr. Eduardo E. Bellido, OWWA Regional Director, the agency is
mandated to promote the welfare and protect the interest of Overseas
Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families.
Funded by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), OWWA
administered an educational grant known as Congressional Migrant Workers
Scholarship Program (CMWSP) with Php 60,000.00 worth of financial
assistance per school year to deserving migrant workers and their
families who intend to pursue courses in the field of Science and
Technology as identified by DOST.
OWWA
also established an educational grant known as Education for
Development Scholarship Program (EDSP) with the same financial aid to
qualified dependents/beneficiaries of member-OFWs for any baccalaureate
course in a CHED-accredited college or university.
The USeP, together with LBF and OWWA, has created a new synergy towards
achieving a single goal which is to provide high quality education and
make it equally accessible to all, regardless of their status. [YConcepcion]
