THE OFW Party List, represented by Rep. Marissa “Del Mar” Magsino, has partnered with the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA – Las Piñas (UPHSD), led by Dr. Eduardo C. Zialcita, Dean of Graduate School. This initiative offers partial graduate scholarships to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families, furthering educational opportunities in business, education, nursing, and public administration.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed today at the OFW Tulong at Serbisyo Center by Rep. Magsino and Dr. Zialcita. Under the partnership, the OFW Party List will endorse qualified students who want to take up graduate programs in business, education, nursing, and public administration at the Las Piñas campus. All endorsed applicants holding a bachelor’s degree from CHED-recognized institutions will be given 50% scholarship by UPHSD once they have passed the entrance exams and other requirements.
“We are grateful to UPHSD for opening the opportunity to our OFWs and their families to take up further studies. Mayroon tayong mga OFWs at kanilang kapamilya na nais itaas pa ang kaalaman at makakuha ng Masters Degree subalit mabigat ito sa bulsa. Kaya malaking tulong ang 50% scholarship na kanilang ibibigay.”, said Rep. Magsino.
This collaboration embodies the OFW Party List’s advocacy for expanded education and empowerment for OFWs and their families. Rep. Magsino’s support is a testament to her commitment to providing affordable education and brighter futures for Filipino communities at home and abroad.
