Scholarships and Financial Information

1. BS Nursing
   By virtue of Republic Act 10931, undergraduate students accepted to the University of the Philippines are covered for free tuition and other school fees. We still recognize, however, that there are students who need additional support. The University and the College of Nursing has a wide array for financial assistance available to students.

The College of Nursing has 15 available privately-funded scholarship and financial assistance grants  to deserving students. While the RA 10931 or the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act ensures free tuition and other fees for undergraduate programs across all state universities and colleges (SUCs) including the University of the Philippines, the privately funded scholarship provides added subsistence to students who are financially-challenged. The scholarships also provide support for books, dormitory rentals, transportation, and uniforms.

We also offer scholarships and financial support for students in master’s and PhD programs.
