CHED Scholarship PhP4.8-B Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) - CHED Scholarship for TES Program release to students in public universities.
The Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES), as one of the core programs under the Republic Act (RA) No. 10931 also known as the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act (UAQTEA) is now fully felt by millions of students enrolled in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) with funding of PhP16 billion from the national government.
The TES is a grants-in-aid program that provides funding for all Filipino students from the poorest-of-the-poor households who are currently enrolled in the 112 state universities and colleges (SUCs) and 78 CHED-recognized local universities and colleges (LUCs) and whose names appear in the Listahanan 2.0 or the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) list of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
TES beneficiaries in public universities get PhP40,000/year. In the meantime, those studying in private universities get Php60,000. This grants-in-aid program is intended to support the costs of college education, particularly use for books and other education-related expenses such as transportation, supplies, room, lodging and board fees.
Under CHED scholarship all students in SUCs and LUCs are given a subsidy and enjoy free tuition and miscellaneous fees. The TES is an additional benefit given to financially-needy students.
