HB02984: AN ACT GRANTING SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CHILDREN OF SMALL FARMERS, AND SMALL-SCALE FISHERFOLK
This bill proposes a scholarship program for children of small farmers and fisherfolk in the Philippines. It aims to make quality education accessible to this often-marginalized group, encouraging them to pursue careers in agriculture and contribute to rural development. A noteworthy provision is the additional stipend for students pursuing priority courses in agriculture or science and technology, providing further incentive and support for those fields.
