DSWD crafted a list of qualifications under its Educational Cash Assistance offer for financially poor but deserving students.

The DSWD Educational Cash Assistance is under the Assistance To Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program. It is a social protection program of the government and the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

Through the said Educational Assistance, the government agency aims to lessen the stressors in the schooling of students.
