Open to all enrolled Filipino undergraduate students, applicants are advised to submit their letter of intent to Representative Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos, along with their certificate of enrolment and billing for the first semester of academic year 2023-2024. “We are now accepting TES applications from District One,” said Marcos in a statement on Monday as he enjoined eligible students to apply for the program. The TES program is being implemented by the Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education and the Commission on Higher Education which is grants-in-aid program made possible through Republic Act 10931 or the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, which institutionalizes free tuition and exemption from other fees in state universities and colleges and local universities and colleges in the Philippines. Early on, the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has allocated P138.77 billion for higher education programs including student subsidies and free tuition in state universities and colleges under the 2023 General Appropriations Act. The amount will be divided among SUCs with P107.04 billion, and the CHEd with P31.73 billion. In Ilocos Norte, thousands of students are availing of this program through the lawmaker’s office and for state universities, each beneficiary belonging to the low-income bracket is entitled to cash assistance of P40,000 per school year. TES grantees from private institutions, on the other hand, receive a higher amount, which covers P20,000 for tuition and an additional P40,000 allowance per academic year.
