HB05015: AN ACT PROVIDING SCHOLARSHIP GRANTS TO QUALIFIED TERTIARY EDUCATION STUDENTS, AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREOF
This bill aims to provide scholarship grants to qualified tertiary education students, covering tuition and other miscellaneous fees for those enrolled in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and public Technical-Vocational Institutes (TVIs). It also seeks to subsidize the tuition fees of students enrolled in Private Higher Education Institutions (PHEIs) and private TVIs. The bill recognizes the importance of accessible tertiary education in promoting social justice and creating a globally competitive workforce.
The most beneficial provision is the creation of the Tertiary Education Scholarship Fund, which will be used to implement a tuition, miscellaneous, and other school fee scholarship grants for students in SUCs and public TVIs, and providing scholarship grants to qualified students in PHEIs and private TVIs, making tertiary education more accessible to deserving students.
