The AFPSLAI Scholarship and Educational Assistance Program (SEAP) is a financial aid initiative designed for the dependents of Armed Forces and Police Savings and Loan Association, Inc. (AFPSLAI) Regular Members or deceased former members who need help completing their college education. It was established to support families of military and police personnel by reducing the financial strain of tuition, books, and living expenses. The program offers two tracks—Scholarship and Apprenticeship Program (SAP) for business-related courses with post-graduation apprenticeship, and Educational Grant Program (EGP) for non-business courses without an apprenticeship requirement. Through stipends, tuition coverage, and other allowances, SEAP helps students focus on their studies and work toward a stable future.
Designed to help families who need education assistance to ease tuition, books, and living costs while their children or siblings are in school, the benefits offered by SEAP apply, regardless if the student is taking business-related courses or pursuing another academic path. If you are interested in this program, then here’s how you can apply for it.

Being a SEAP beneficiary means enjoying the privilege as a qualified AFPSLAI dependent so you can pursue a college degree without being weighed down by school-related expenses. It practically means receiving tuition support, monthly allowances, and other academic-related assistance, so the students can simply focus on finishing their studies.
