TERMS OF THE ESC GRANT

As per guidelines on the implementation of the ESC Program in the Junior High School (D.O No. 20, s. 2017),

1. The ESC grant covers four (4) years of junior high school starting from Grade 7. No new ESC grants are awarded at higher grade levels.

2. The grant remains in force for the next school year if the grantee is promoted to the next grade level and enrolls in an ESC-participating JHS. No maintaining grades are required of grantees within a school year.

3. The grant is terminated if a grantee does any one of the following:

   • Drops out for non-health reasons in the middle of the school year;

   • Does not reenroll the following school year;

   • Fails to be promoted to the next grade level or is retained at the same grade level;

   • 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

4. Transfers to another ESC-participating JHS are allowed. In cases when the applicable subsidy amount of the releasing school is different from that of the accepting school, the accepting school will be paid the lower of the two applicable subsidy amounts.

5. Grantees who drop out due to prolonged illness, accident, force majeure, or death of a parent or guardian may be reinstated in the ESC program, provided they submit relevant documents to PEAC. The documents to be submitted are to support their claim (i.e. for illness, a medical certificate issued by a licensed medical doctor).
