Despite the remarkable economic progress experienced by the Municipality of Guaynabo, multiple socioeconomic challenges persist that affect certain population groups. Our financial aid programs, scholarships and school clothing vouchers are offered as a partial support to economically disadvantaged residents, especially those who cannot access similar programs in the community. These grants are awarded to individuals and families who meet the eligibility requirements established by the Department of Family Services.
