Senate·20th Congress·Filed Jul 14, 2025
Amending R.A. No. 10931 (Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act)
An Act Amending Section 7 of Republic Act No. 10931, Otherwise Known as the 'universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act' to Enhance the Efficiency, Equity, and Accountability of the Tertiary Education Subsidy Program
In plain language
The bill changes the existing scholarship program so that all poor students in the 4Ps cash‑transfer program automatically get a college subsidy, and the rest of the slots are given to other students based on who is poorer, using the latest income lists. It also adds rules for how much money can be given, expands what the money can pay for (tuition, books, transport, computers, disability needs, and a one‑time professional‑license fee), and sets up monitoring and penalties for misuse.
