Crypto exchange Binance has partnered its educational platform Binance Academy with an education tech platform from the Philippines to launch Web3 scolarships.
Edukasyon.ph is reportedly the largest education tech platform in the Philippines. The Binance Web3 scholarship programme was introduced to increase the educational efforts of the crypto exchange and to encourage a fundamental understanding of blockchain in the Asian country.
To take part in this programme, people have to publicly post a video on their social media accounts in which they share how they feel about various Web3 topics and file a form supplied by Edukasyon.ph. Applicants have until the 28th of February to submit their videos and forms.
Edukasyon.ph will have a Facebook announcement on the 17th of February in which the 300 participants will receive the chance to attend the foundational course from Binance Academy’s Web 3 programme. The courses are reportedly valued at PHP 500k or more.
The two partners have some other requirements as well, besides the basic background criteria, such as financial needs, family situation, and the academic merits of the applicant. Once people secure the scholarship, they can go through the entry-level educational programme which can be further developed with more advanced technology courses.
To make sure that all Filipinos have equal chances to participate, the courses will be hosted online on Edukasyon.ph’s platform and featured in the local language. Scolarship participants will receive assistance from live instructors to access comprehensive opportunities and instructions to ask questions during the programme.
