Fees

The costs of attending UPLB fall into two categories: (1) tuition and related fees for services provided by the University; and (2) living costs and personal expenses.

Since the University is supported by the State, part of the educational costs is subsidized by the government. The charges to be borne by the student may be substantially reduced by socialized tuition and the financial assistance program. Enrollment privileges are also provided by the University. Private scholarships, fellowships, and other grants also cushion the costs of education.
