The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) announces it will roll out a subsidy program providing ₱15,000 per year to eligible students enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degree programs. GSIS says the grant is intended for incoming first-time college freshmen who have at least a 90% general weighted average from senior high school and who enroll in identified STEM courses. The program is also limited to children of active GSIS members with permanent employment status, who are within Salary Grade 15 or below, and whose GSIS premium payments are up to date.
GSIS states the subsidy will be available to qualified students starting with this month’s launch of the program. The coverage notes that the initiative is designed to support members’ children pursuing STEM studies. Other details, such as the specific list of eligible degree programs and the process for application or verification, are not included in the provided excerpts.
