CITY OF TABUK, Kalinga — The Kalinga State University (KSU) offers the free tuition fee program for school year 2017-2018 to help poor but deserving students finish their college education.
KSU President Eduardo T. Bagtang informed the move is in accordance with a Commission on Higher Education (CHED) guideline sent to KSU recently.
Under the guideline, priority beneficiaries of the program are graduating college students with only one semester left. Next are those with two semesters left then Pantawid students and those who will qualify under the income bracket set.
Bagtang said beneficiaries with existing educational grant of less than P15,000/semester are qualified under the program.
Interested applicants are urged to register early in June to determine the ranking of priorities.
Bagtang disclosed there is no definite number of student-beneficiaries to be accommodated but this depends on the amount of grant to be released by CHED for the program this year.
KSU enrolment starts in June while classes for the first semester will open in August. **PIA Kalinga
