CHED grants financial aid to MCC students
The Freeman
|April 27, 2026
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED), through its Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education (UniFast), has approved the inclusion of Mandaue City College (MCC) in the Free Higher Education (FHE) program, with billing set to begin in the second semester of School Year 2026-2027.
The development is expected to significantly ease the financial burden on the Mandaue City Government, as the national government will begin covering tuition and other school fees for qualified MCC students.
City Administrator Atty. Gonzalo “Sally” Malig-on Jr. confirmed in an interview that Mayor Thadeo Jovito “Jonkie” Ouano had received official communication dated April 7, 2026 from CHED-UniFast approving MCC's application.
“At least dali ra kaayo,” Malig-on said, noting the swift approval of the application after it officially received institutional recognition (IR) last March 27.
