Aklan fisherfolks' children who are high school graduates or graduating and potential Top 10 placers of their class have a chance to get free college education through the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Fisherfolk Children Educational Grant (FCEG). Once qualified, BFAR scholars can choose to study in nine accredited schools located in Region 6, one of which is the Alkan State University (ASU) New Washington Campus. Accredited schools for qualified applicants are only three-the Central Luzon State University, University of the Philippines Visayas and Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology.
