CHED Scholarships For College Students


Poverty is not a hindrance to success. A very common quote when it comes to education. But in a reality, it is really difficult to go to school when you are poor and underprivileged since tuition and other school fees are increasing year per year aside from growing cost of living. But if a person is really working hard to earn a degree, nothing is impossible, since education is the best investment for the future. Also, take note that the Free Education Act is already into law, so students in states universities and colleges can now enjoy free tuition from the government. And the good thing for those who strive is that there are many scholarship programs now from the government where they can get educational assistance, if not free education.

FREE TUITION FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS IN 8 UNIVERSITIES

Medical schools in eight state universities and colleges in the country will offer tuition-free education in the academic year 2017 to 2018. The announcement was made by CHED Commissioner Prospero de Vera III in a Facebook post last Tuesday, June 13. Malacañang confirmed this with an official announcement, Thursday. Presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella said the financial assistance is “intended for new and continuing medical students who will be enrolling for academic year 2017 to 2018.” The cash grants program will be funded through P317.1 million “built-in appropriations” for the selected SUCs, with each getting P39 million for the cash grants. The P317.1 million is part of the P8.3-billion allocation meant to provide for free tuition in SUCs. The universities providing free tuition for medical students are: A joint memorandum circular, signed between the Commission on Higher Education and the Department of Budget and Management, said the assistance program will give a student-grantee “one hundred percent tuition fee subsidy.” To qualify for the program, a student must: pass the admission requirements of the SUC, be enrolled in the authorized Doctor of Medicine program of the select SUCs, maintain a general weighted average of at least a passing grade, and carry a regular academic load and complete a degree within the period allowed by the university. Applicants must submit an accomplished form directly to the SUC concerned, together with required documents, including a duly-certified copy of grades for the latest semester or term attended. While the implementing guidelines do not mention an applicants' capacity to pay, applicants must also submit the latest Income Tax Return (ITR) of their parents or guardians. According to Commissioner de Vera, student-grantees will have to render a one-year return service to the Philippines for every year of cash grant they receive as part of their public service responsibility. These soon-to-be doctors have the option of serving in government hospitals, private hospitals, or local government health facilities in the Philippines. They can also become doctors to the barrios. "This initiative is a response to the continuing lack of doctors in the country caused by the high cost of medical education, overseas migration, and brain drain," Comm. De Vera said in the statement. He further added "The Duterte administration wants to solve this problem by subsidizing the tuition of medical students and facilitating their residency and practice in the different parts of the country."

The approved financial aid amounting to P100 million will be distributed by the agency to the affected OFW families. According to Admin Hans Cacdac, the calamity component involves cash assistance of P3,000 for active members and P1,000 members who are not active. OWWA Region 10 office is already in the process of determining the number of qualified beneficiaries for the cash assistance. “Our Region 10 director is on the ground in Iligan and Cagayan de Oro, determining the amount to be given to the beneficiaries. Distribution will happen in the coming week,” Cacdac said. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), for its part, earlier said that it will provide livelihood aid to the displaced workers due to the crisis. Marawi residents, including OFW families had voluntarily evacuated their homes in area since last week due to the rising tension. Most of them went to the nearby areas like Iligan and Cagayan de Oro City. Their villages had been under Maute terror and they need to be somewhere safe. President Rodrigo Duterte already declared martial law in the entire Mindanao ordering the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to intensify counter offensives against the ISIS-inspired group. Meanwhile, Department of Social Welfare and Development opened various evacuation centers in Mindanao following the exodus of the residents in Marawi City. According to DSWD Sec.

According to Nelson Mandela "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." It is indeed true. Education will not only change the world but it will also change your life. Who knows, you will be one of the richest person in the Philippines? or in the world? if you pursue your studies. So never let this opportunity the government is giving you to pass.
