The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education (UniFAST) announces the release of Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) stipends in State Universities and Colleges (SUCS) and CHED-recognized Local Universities and Colleges (LUCS) for Academic Year 2019-2020 amid COVID-19 outbreak.
CHED has released TES funds to the following 51 SUCS and LUCS. Accordingly, they will continue downloading the subsidy even during the Enhanced Community Quarantine caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic.
“SUCs/LUCs should immediately coordinate with the grantees for the release of their TES and find the best way to distribute them while complying with the stringent safety and health measures being implemented by their respective local government during this period,” said CHED and UniFAST Board Chairman J. Prospero E. De Vera III.
What is TES?
For those who are not familiar with TES or the Tertiary Education Subsidy, it is the core components of the RA 10931 or what is known as the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act (UAQTEA).
TES is given to poor students who are enrolled in the 112 State Universities and Colleges and 78 Local Universities and Colleges whose names appear in the Listahan 2.0 or the Pnatawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4ps) list of the DSWD.
TES beneficiaries receive P40,000/ year for their additional educational expenses. In addition, students also enjoy free tuition and miscellaneous fees.
