Abstract:
In the past years, many students had problems with their finances, especially their expenses for
education. Many of the students are affected by the crisis financially, emotionally, and by their wellbeing. That is why the government provides programs that will help the students with their problems
with school expenses, and that is through the Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES) of the Commission
on Higher Education (CHED). Further, the primary goal of this study is to explore the TES Grantees'
lived experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms. Furthermore, these are the study's findings:
(1) The grantees find the TES very helpful regarding finances that will tackle their academic needs,
such as tuition fees and school learning materials. (2) Many students value government assistance that
motivates them to maintain their grades.
