EBest: Eat Bulaga's Excellent Student Award is a scholarship program that provides scholarship grants to students who excel academically but whose families could not support their education.
fetes thirty underprivileged but deserving elementary students from all over the country in 2009 as part of its thirtieth anniversary celebration and its gesture of paying back to the public who has supported the program all these years. With the help of Eat Bulaga!, the kids and their parents can be spared from daily expenses that high school education brings.[52]
A second batch of thirty EBest scholars are chosen again in 2013. The new batch will also receive financial help and educational assistance from the show throughout their four years in high school. In addition, the original batch are also invited back to be congratulated on their graduation from high school. However, Eat Bulaga!'s help does not end in high school as the students’ story of hope and inspiration continues. The show has pledged its new commitment to send the students to college.[53]
In 2017, the original batch of EBest scholars are invited back to Eat Bulaga! as the students graduate from college one by one. The graduates retell their stories of and reveal the academic degrees that they have completed from their universities. The hosts congratulate the graduates and provide them a final gift to be used for their future endeavors.
