The PNP Comprehensive Educational Assistance Program (PCEAP) is designed to support the educational needs of the declared legal beneficiaries of Philippine National Police personnel. Whether they are dependents of police officers who excel academically, were Killed in Police Operation (KIPO), Wounded in Police Operation (WIPO), permanently disabled, or recognized for exemplary service, this program provides direct financial help for their schooling with the help of funding from donors, benefactors, and partner institutions.
The program was designed to not only uplift the morale of PNP personnel by making quality education more accessible to their families, but to also show the government’s support to the families of our law enforcers—especially those who have made extraordinary sacrifices. Whether through REAP, DEAP, or SEAP, learning about whether you are a qualified beneficiary can help you access this financial support that was meant to honor the service and dedication of your family members in uniform.
Program Overview
The PCEAP is a donor-driven initiative that offers educational assistance in three main forms:
- Reward Educational Assistance Program (REAP): One-time financial grant for dependents of PNP personnel who have received special awards, promotions, or commendations.
- Dependents Educational Assistance Program (DEAP): Annual financial support for dependents of active-duty PNP personnel who have achieved academic excellence.
- Special Educational Assistance Program (SEAP): Continuous financial support for dependents of PNP personnel killed, wounded, or permanently disabled in the line of duty.
The program’s goal is to promote the economic, social, and educational welfare of PNP personnel and their declared beneficiaries while ensuring that assistance is properly managed and distributed according to established guidelines.
Purpose and Objectives
The PCEAP aims to:
- Support deserving dependents of qualified PNP personnel in their educational journey.
- Sustain the morale of active-duty police officers by extending tangible benefits to their families.
- Collaborate with donors, institutions, and socially responsible organizations for sustainable funding.
- Provide clear policies and procedures for fair distribution of educational aid.
