HEADS UP, ASPIRING COSCHO SCHOLARS!📣
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) have signed a Joint Memorandum Circular revising the implementing guidelines of the Scholarship Program for Coconut Farmers and Their Families (CoScho), introducing a more efficient and responsive system for selecting scholars and delivering assistance to qualified beneficiaries.
For Academic Year 2026–2027, the program will offer a total of 10,789 scholarship slots nationwide, including 6,824 new beneficiaries and 3,965 continuing scholars.
The CoScho Program supports qualified coconut farmers and their dependents in pursuing undergraduate studies, particularly in agriculture, agricultural engineering, agribusiness management, agricultural economics, and other programs identified by the PCA.
Through this initiative, the government hopes to help develop future professionals who can contribute to the growth, modernization, and sustainability of the Philippine coconut industry.
Qualified scholars may receive educational assistance and other forms of support under the program, while scholar-graduates are encouraged to give back through a return service component that promotes innovation and community development in coconut-growing areas.
For many Filipino families, this scholarship represents more than financial assistance. It is an opportunity to access higher education, break barriers brought about by economic hardship, and create better opportunities for future generations.
