Tuition Fees at FEU and Some Other Universities in Manila, PhilippinesNovember 11, 2010 · Filed Under schools, universities  43

UPDATED April 30, 2012:

In less than two years, my daughter has enrolled and studied in three different universities in Manila because of different reasons, including allergies, fluctuations in finances and wrong choice of course.

As we searched for schools, we came to know about the ranges of tuition fees in some schools. Some universities publish their tuition fees on their web sites; others don’t. We hope the following info tidbits on tuition fees are able to give you some ideas about tuition fees in different universities.

Take note also that it’s best to inquire while your child is still in 3rd year high school, or early in the senior year, as there are certain schools which start and close their entrance exam and admission periods several months before the start of their freshman year.

UP – Application period is about a year ahead and the exam is usually in August. (For example, freshmen entering UP this June 2012 applied to take the exam or UPCAT within the period May to middle of June 2011 and took the UPCAT last August 2011.)

UST – Application period is from June to first week of December and the exam or USTET has 3 schedules (one in August, one in October, and one in December)

PUP Manila — Application period is from September to November. For the 2012-2013 school year, PUP Manila had two PUPCET schedules: January 29,2012 and February 19, 2012.

PUP Satellites – Have later schedules, but many hold their exams in February and in March. Some in the provinces hold several exams in March and in April.

DE LA SALLE – Application period is from June to middle of September and the exam has 3 schedules in October.

ATENEO DE MANILA – Application period is from June to middle of August and the exam or ACET is in September.

TUITION FEES / SCHOOL FEES PER SEMESTER

All tuition fees mentioned below are for ONE semester and are in PESOS, except when noted otherwise. Also, the tuition fees published here are ESTIMATES and may not be exactly the same as the total amount that you will eventually pay.

Most schools administer 2 semesters in a year. Those that operate on a trisem calendar (3 semesters in a year) include:

– De La Salle University- PWU- Asia Pacific College- De La Salle- College of Saint Benilde- AMA University- FEU-East Asia College- FEU-FERN* (FEU Manila is on a 2-sem calendar)

* Mapua administers 4 sems in a year (quarterms)

Note: I gathered fees for only a number of courses; the schools offer other courses.

UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES (UP)

From the UP website:

UP uses a socialized tuition system, meaning students pay based on their family income. The system is called Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program (STFAP).

A student applying for the lower tuition brackets need to show notarized financial documents that include tax returns, real estate tax declarations, statements of assets and liabilities, water bills, electric bills, or municipal certification of unemployment.

Tuition fee per unit (UP Diliman, UP Los Banos and UP Manila):- 1,500 pesos per unit for Bracket A (annual family income of more than 1 million pesos)- 1,000 pesos for Bracket B (income of 500,001 to 1 million)- 600 pesos for Bracket C (income of 250,001 to 500,000)- 300 pesos for Bracket D (income of 135,001 to 250,000)- Free tuition for Brackets E1 and E2 (income of 135,000 or less)- student allowance of 12,000 pesos per year, Bracket E2 (income of 80,000 or less)

Miscellaneous fees = 2,000 pesos

UP evaluates students’ financial capabilities every year and changes their STFAP brackets to match their current financial situations.
