Financial Subsidy, Benefits, Extent, Management, Scholarship, Implementation

Unified Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education (UniFAST) under Republic Act No. 10931 was implemented to ensure that deserving students are given equal opportunity to access college education. This study aimed at assessing the extent of the implementation of UniFAST in terms of benefits and privileges among students concerning their cited profile, and how they managed the financial help they received. The questionnaires were sent online to the 129 graduating students in the school year 2021-2022, but only 105 became the sample size. This study employed descriptive-comparative design utilizing descriptive statistics, independent t-test, Anova and a qualitative approach in analyzing the gathered data. Results revealed that 92% of the participants have a monthly family income of below PhP 10,000.00 which was within the poverty threshold. The extent of UniFAST was very highly implemented in which students’ educational needs were sustained and even families’ necessities were supplied. Generally, students developed a grateful attitude as they managed to secure primary school needs, and family burdens were alleviated. However, orientation and awareness of the implementation of the said scholarship among parents are highly recommended to avoid misconceptions. The main contribution of this paper is to provide empirical evidence on how students managed the assistance they received and this may be a basis for possible scholarship grant to be crafted by the government. The findings of the study are also important to both students’ families and school personnel.
