About Us
The Scholarship and Financial Assistance Office (SFAO) functions as the university’s central hub dedicated to fostering equal access to higher education. Committed to bridging financial gaps for deserving students, the office oversees a diverse array of funding opportunities designed to support academic journeys from enrollment through graduation.
Operating at the heart of the university’s student development unit, the SFAO manages institutional scholarships, state-funded grants, specialized student assistantship programs, and external sponsorships. Through transparent application processes, rigorous evaluations, and continuous student tracking, the office ensures that financial aid reaches those who need it most empowering financially disadvantaged yet academically driven students to focus on their studies, excel in their chosen fields, and complete their degrees successfully.
A student can avail of only one scholarship.
Special grants are given only to students who belong to low socio-economic status.
Criteria for selection will be set by the agency/donor of the grant in coordination with the Office of the Scholarship Coordinator.
The funds for scholarship received as trust fund shall be spent solely for the purpose.
Donors are to deposit the funds on or before the start of the enrollment period of the first semester or for the whole year.
A scholarship committee (composed of the Dean of Student Affairs, Guidance, Scholarship Coordinator, Student Services Coordinator and Supreme Student Council President) screen all applicants and possible candidates for scholarships or grants. The committee then submits the bio-data of the applicants or candidates to the University President for approval in case of a scholarship or to the donor agency for its approval in case of a grant.
Some scholarship grants include tuition and miscellaneous fees, book allowance per semester, and a monthly stipend. A memorandum of Agreement (MOA) containing provisions of scholarship is executed between the scholar and the university/sponsor.
Some scholarships specify that the recipient pay back the stipend in installment as soon
