For millions of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), membership with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) is far more than a mandatory contribution. It is a powerful investment directly impacting the future of their families. A significant part of this investment is the educational support designed to secure a college degree for the children of OFWs.
Your OWWA Membership: A Gateway to Educational Benefits
The agency is currently highlighting the specific benefits that members can leverage, especially for their children's college education. The focus is on two major scholarship programs that have recently opened applications: the Education for Development Scholarship Program (EDSP) and the Congressional Migrant Workers Scholarship Program (CMWSP).
These programs are targeted at qualified dependents who are set to begin their college journey in the academic year 2026-2027. This early announcement gives families ample time to prepare their applications and meet all necessary requirements.

To provide comprehensive details, OWWA is urging members and their families to tune in to its informative program, 'Serbisyong OWWA Syete'. This episode promises a deep dive into the full scope of OWWA coverage, with a special focus on demystifying these two scholarship opportunities.
Understanding the specifics—such as eligibility criteria, application processes, covered expenses, and documentary requirements—is crucial for families hoping to avail of this financial aid. The program aims to answer all these questions and more, ensuring no member misses out due to a lack of information.
Securing Your Child's Future Through OWWA
The long-term implications of these scholarships are profound. By covering a significant portion of college tuition and fees, the EDSP and CMWSP scholarships alleviate the financial burden on OFW parents. This allows them to better focus on their work abroad, secure in the knowledge that their investment is actively building a brighter future for their children.
This initiative underscores OWWA's commitment to the welfare of its members beyond immediate concerns, focusing on sustainable family development through education. It transforms the OWWA membership from a simple fee into a strategic tool for achieving long-term family goals.
