Who is eligible to Apply for ESC grant

Elementary school graduates who want to go to a private high school that is part of the ESC or students who are starting Grade 7 can use the program.

If a student moves, the grant can still be used as long as the student moves to a school that is part of the ESC. Just make sure to give the school that will take the student a certification letter with the student’s School-ESC identification number before the application deadline.

The grant could end if any of the following things happen to the person who got it:

  • When the grantee drops out for non-health reasons in the middle of the school year;
  • When grantee does not re-enroll the coming school year;
  • If he fails to be promoted to the next grade level or is retained at the same grade level;
  • When he/she is suspended for more than two (2) weeks, dismissed or expelled by the school for disciplinary reasons; or
  • Transfers to a non-ESC-participating JHS.

Grantees who drop out of the ESC program because of a parent or guardian’s death, force majeure, a long illness, or an accident can rejoin the program if they can show proof.
