GSIS President and General Manager Robert G. Vergara today announced that beginning tomorrow, May 15, low-income government workers may start nominating their children to the enhanced College Scholarship Program of the Government Service Insurance System (GSP) where 200 slots are available for School Year 2012 - 2013.
"As part of celebrating our 75th anniversary this year, the current Board of Trustees revised the scholarship program to ensure that our low-income members will be given the opportunity to send their children to colleges and universities that provide quality education."
Unlike in the past scholarship programs, the selection of scholars will no longer be done through an electronic raffle. The GSIS will instead accept scholarship nominees from members with a salary grade of 24 or below, or its equivalent. The nominee of parents with the lowest salary grades will be given priority in the scholarship grant. Further, the nominee must be a child of the member and an incoming freshman accepted in the schools identified by the pension fund.
The scholar of the program will be entitled to the actual cost of tuition and miscellaneous fees not exceeding Php20,000 and a monthly stipend of Php2,000. The scholar may also opt to take a four- or five-year course but must meet the scholastic requirements set by the school for student retention under the program.
The distribution of the 200 scholarship slots per region will be proportionate to the number of GSIS members in each region. Thus, GSIS will select 60 scholars from NCR; three ( 3 ) from CAR; nine ( 9 ) from Region 1; nine ( 9 ) from Region 2; 16 from Region 3; 10 from Region 4-A; one ( 1 ) from Region 4-B; 11 from Region 5; 14 from Region 6; 10 from Region 7; 11 from Region 8; 12 from Region 9; 11 from Region 10; nine ( 9 ) from Region 11; 10 from Region 12; and four ( 4 ) from Region 13.
The pension fund has already awarded a total of 1,371 scholarship grants since the inception of the program in 1998. From this total, 404 active scholars are currently enrolled in various colleges and universities nationwide as of April this year.
Aside from the scholarship program, the GSIS is granting its members, a Php4,000 educational assistance, which is payable in five years at six percent interest rate.
For a complete list of GSIS-accredited educational institutions under the GSIS College Scholarship Program and other details, members may call 479.3645 and 976.4970 or visit the nearest GSIS office and website - www.gsis.gov.ph.

The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) is expanding its partnership with the Land Bank of the Philippines to give not only our pensioners, but also our 1.4 million members the option to avail of LANDBANK's banking services.
Members who will choose to avail themselves of LANDBANK's services will be issued a UMID eCard where loan proceeds and other benefits such as cash dividends will be credited.
Having a LANDBANK UMID eCard entitles the member to the following benefits:
- No maintaining balance required for the member�s savings account;
- No service fee on withdrawal and balance inquiry from any of LANDBANK's more than 900 ATMs nationwide;
- As a debit card in more than 20,000 accredited merchants nationwide;
- As a discount card for selected Pfizer medicines and when enrolling your children/relatives in any STI campus nationwide; and
- Can withdraw from any Expressnet, Bancnet or Megalink ATM network.
- EMAIL to eservices@gsis.gov.ph his/her 1) Name, 2) Date of Birth, 3) UMID Common Reference Number (CRN) and 4) preferred LANDBANK branch; OR
- LOG IN to GSIS eCard online transactions facility at www.gsis.gov.ph using his/her 11-digit GSIS ID Number. Once logged in, the member has to click on the icon [
Choose LBP as your Servicing Bank] and indicate his/her preferred Land Bank Branch via a drop-down list menu; OR
- he/she may VISIT any the nearest GSIS Field Office to signify his/her intent to transfer his/her bank account.
Thank you.
The release of the UMID eCard is experiencing a delay due to a much needed technology upgrade on the part of one of our partner-agencies.
Pending issuance of the UMID card, we will give active members who do not have the eCard Plus but who have enrolled for the UMID-compliant eCard a temporary eCard through Union Bank for FREE.
Should the members wish to avail of a loan, they may file their application over-the-counter in any of our GSIS offices/branches. Once approved, the proceeds of their loan will be credited to the said temporary eCard.
With this temporary eCard, the members will be entitled to the discounts extended to GSIS eCardholders for selected Pfizer medicines and tertiary education with STI schools nationwide. It has a debit facility through the Megalink network. Once registered in the GSIS website, you can also use your temporary eCard to monitor status of your loan and request for Statement of Member's Account (SOMA).
Compared to the usual UMID card, the temporary eCard:
- Has NO biometrics facility, hence it cannot be used for kiosk transactions such as loan availment and viewing of membership records;
- Cannot be used to avail of cash advance with GSIS.
Thank you.
