It’s designed to help Grade 7–10 students in private schools by subsidizing part of their tuition fees.” The ESC (Education Service Contracting) grant is not a scholarship because it is not awarded based on academic competition or merit; instead, it’s a government subsidy given to qualified students to help cover tuition fees in participating private schools.

4. What is Voucher Program Beneficiary ( VPB ) “Just like ESC, the SHS Voucher Program is not a scholarship . It’s a tuition subsidy for Grade 10 completers who wish to continue their education in Senior High School, especially in private schools. The goal is to make SHS more accessible to all learners, regardless of their academic rank.”
