One of the many challenges of parents and students is the very high cost of post-secondary or college education. In 2015, according to the Executive Director of CHED, Atty. Julito Vitriolo, the participation rate of students who enter college is only 26%. And in order to help the many students who cannot afford college education, the Commission on Higher Education is offering a loan where students could have the chance to study and pay later, about two years after finding an employment.
Qualified students can avail as much as Php 15,000 per annum or Php 7,500 per semester. Initially the student who plans to apply for the Study Now Pay Later Program or SNPLP has to choose the college first and seek admission, once admitted to the college or university an application can be made and submitted to the Regional Office of CHED.

After finishing college, the terms of payment for the loan could be in lump-sum (no interest) or it could also be installment (subject to interest), and can be negotiated with CHED but interest should not be more than 6% per year.
“Any loan granted under the Section shall be paidby the student-debtor after he has finished thecourse or profession for which the proceeds of theloan was expended, but only after a period of two(2) years from the time he has acquired anemployment: provided, however, that interest at therate of not more than six percent (6) per annumshall accrue to the balance thereof”

Good afternoon ma'am/sir, how about those who are out of school youth but want to continue their study.
I really want to finish a course but because of financial problem I stopped.
I look forward for your reply.

Good Afternoon Ma'am/Sir;
I like to us about Study Now Pay Later Plan (SNPLP), can I avail even if I am second years of college in a private school. I'm from Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.
Gud afternoon Ma'am/ Sir
Ask ko lng po if pwd pa po ba kahit graduating na sana ng college? Nahinto po anak ko dahil sa finacial problem at balance po ng tuition fee nya sa school . Dapat po ojt na nya eh wala po kami pambayad sa ojt nya kaya po d sya naka enrol.
If you have school admission already for college, you can still apply. Just visit or contact the nearest CHED office in your region.
Thank you.
