Hi, I studied the government program and received financial assistance. Does that count as social assistance?

The financial assistance you received through a government program counts as social assistance would depend on the specific program and the criteria used to determine eligibility for that program. In general, if the program is designed to provide aid to individuals or families in need due to financial hardship, it may be considered a form of social assistance. However, if the program is not specifically designed for this purpose, then it may not be considered social assistance.
