From over 100 students who applied for the scholarship grant, 100 students were chosen for the School Year 2021-2022. Part of the program will provide children with disabilities with access to assistive devices, learning aids; and provide capacity-building activities, policy advocacy, coordination, and management to parents, guardians, educators, and local officials. Furthermore, ILAW will strengthen and empower them to implement disability-inclusive programs and services for children.
