Department of Education (MANILA BULLETIN)
The DepEd, in coordination with the Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC), reminded the public on the deadlines of the SHS VP application. The deadline for receipt of manual applications was on May 31. The applicants were asked to submit complete requirements at the PEAC National Secretariat, located at the 5th floor of Salamin Building, 197 Salcedo Street, Makati City.
Meanwhile, applicants may still submit their applications through the Online Voucher Application Portal (https://ovap.peac.org.ph/) until June 2, but only those who have registered their accounts on or before May 31 may be able to log in.
DepEd reminded that voucher applicants should submit supporting documents to facilitate proper assessment of their applications. These include the completed Voucher Application Form (VAF-1); recent 2x2 colored ID photo; proof of financial means of parents or guardians; signed parent consent form for voucher applicants below 18 years old at the time of the submission of the application; and Certificate of Financial Assistance received (issued by the school), if applicable.
“The applications submitted after the deadline, as well as applications with incomplete VAF-1 and incomplete required documents, will not be accepted,” DepEd said. “Applications that contain false information and applications submitted by learners who are not eligible for the SHS VP shall likewise be disqualified,” it added.
