CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Department of Social Welfare and Development in Central Visayas (DSWD-7) launched a QR code and a link to accommodate those eligible students who have yet to claim their educational assistance from the agency.

This after the DSWD central office recently announced that it will no longer cater walk in transactions during the scheduled payout of the cash assistance. to avoid drawing hefty crowd like what happened in regional and central offices of the agency last Saturday, August 20, 2022.

  • P1,000 for elementary students
  • P2,000 for junior high school students
  • P3,000 for senior high school students
  • P4,000 for college students or those taking vocational courses

The assistance is available for up to three students per family.
