What is STS?
In the University of the Philippines (UP), all students receive financial support from the National Government
since the full tuition is much lower than the cost of education in the University. Given that students in UP
come from all walks of life, there are those who may not be able to afford paying the full tuition. So UP
created the Socialized Tuition System (STS) which provides tuition discount at rates that are based on the
assessment of the paying capacity of the household to which a student belongs. This assessment looks at the
income as well as the socio-economic characteristics of the household.
The current STS was approved by the UP Board of Regents on 13 December 2013.
 
Tuition Discounts
UP students who wish to apply for tuition discounts under the STS must supply the information about the
income and socio-economic characteristics of their household. The application is done online. Using the
information submitted by the students, the University may grant tuition discounts and, in certain cases,
monthly stipends, according to the tables below:

Full Discount 100% Free Tuition Free miscellaneous fees free laboratory fees

Stipend stipend
 
Tuition discounts and other financial assistance from STS shall be for one academic year, renewable annually.
Incoming Freshmen (student number beginning 2014 and incoming MD and JD students) who will be granted
Full Discount + Stipend will receive ₱3,500 monthly allowance for two semesters. The said monthly
allowance may be in the form of cash, dormitory privilege, and/or meal coupon.
