Currently, the department is giving educational assistance payouts through its Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program.
Not listed in services offered: Assistance to mothers who send their child to school is not listed among the types of assistance provided in the AICS program.
Students as grantees: The educational assistance being provided by DSWD targets students-in-crisis. In a video posted by the department, DSWD Secretary Erwin Tulfo identified those considered as students-in-crisis:
- Breadwinner

- Orphan/abandoned child living with relatives
- Child of a solo parent
- Student whose parents have no work
- Child of overseas Filipino worker (OFW)
- Child of an HIV victim
