Details about the CHED Scholarship Allowance or Stipends for College Scholars
Here is a guide on the financial assistance that the Commission on Higher Education is ready to provide scholars with.
Graduating college is undeniably not just a product of years of studying, being academically active in school, or simply defeating laziness every morning to get out of bed and be at the classroom. Aside from all these pursuits and efforts, to be able to finish college, you need to have the money to pull through.
However, not everyone is ready for the tuition, the miscellaneous fees, the everyday transportation and meal costs, the project fees, and a lot more. Meanwhile, there are entities that you may turn to that can help you — one of them is CHED or the Commission on Higher Education.
The Commission which is in charge of the tertiary education in the Philippines offers huge CHED Scholarship Allowance under its offer. The StuFAPs scholarship offer is open for incoming first year students.
With regards to the CHED Scholarship Allowance or stipend, there are variations as to the amounts. As mentioned that the scholarship offer can enroll a scholar to a private higher education or HEI or a state college or university, this is where the difference in the CHED Scholarship Allowance may set it.
