What is the Tulong Dunong Program (TDP)?
The Tulong Dunong Program is a financial aid initiative established by CHED-UniFAST to support Filipino students pursuing higher education. UniFAST is an attached agency of CHED that implements the major components of RA 10931 (FHE, TES-TDP). It provides grants to financially disadvantaged individuals enrolled in CHED-recognized programs at both public and private institutions. The program aims to broaden access to quality education and alleviate the financial burden faced by many students and their families.
How much are the TDP funds?
For the second semester of AY 2022-2023, a total of ₱112.1 million has been allocated for TDP grantees in CALABARZON. This translates to each grantee receiving ₱15,000, which can be used for various educational expenses, including tuition fees and living allowances.
How to claim your TDP funds?
If you are a TDP grantee in CALABARZON, you can claim your funds through your designated Higher Education Institution (HEI). It’s crucial to check with your school’s focal person to confirm if you are included in the list of paid grantees and inquire about the specific claiming process.
Significance of the TDP program
The Tulong Dunong Program plays a vital role in uplifting the lives of countless Filipino students.
