The Socialized Tuition System
• The Socialized Tuition System (ST System) provides tuition discount at rates that are based on the assessment of the paying capacity of the household to which the student belongs – The ST System will replace the STFAP introduced in
1989 (BOR Resolution, 13 December 2013) – https://sts.up.edu.ph/

needs must be enhanced 5. Students will be accountable for information submitted
to the system 6. “Bracket” classes will be eliminated
