New year, new semester, new partner school!

As we embrace another year of serving students through accessible and quality education, Bukas proudly welcomes Ateneo De Manila University to our growing list of local and international partners.

While there is no introduction needed for the highly-esteemed university, Ateneo’s commitment to excellence in education, service, and social transformation has kept the school at the top of mind for thousands of Filipino students across the country.

With this partnership, current and upcoming Atenean students can enjoy a more flexible payment option for their studies all-year round. Here’s how.

Pay your tuition, the Bukas way

Everyone has the right to receive quality education. Both Bukas and Ateneo stand by that right. Through extending a good number of scholarships and grants to qualified and deserving students, Ateneo has welcomed thousands of young and talented individuals in its campus halls through the years. And they continue to do so!

With Bukas as a new payment partner in the University, quality education just got more accessible at Ateneo. This is good news since more students can now receive the life-changing transformation of an Atenean education—with the help of Bukas student loans to finance their studies from Day 1 until graduation.

All college and graduate students are welcome to apply regardless of year level, program, and GPA standing. Even students with existing scholarships!

What is a Bukas student loan?

A Bukas student loan is a safe, secure, and flexible way to pay for your tuition. When you choose to pay with Bukas, we can cover up to 100% of your tuition for the semester while you pay back the amount within 6, 9, or 12 monthly installments. Take note that every student loan comes with an interest rate ranging from 1.9 - 4.9% every month and a one-time service fee of 4.5% - 10%.

If ever you want to pay off your tuition plan earlier, you can do so without any early termination or other penalties. Bukas only charges interest for the months you consume your tuition plan so managing your fees is flexible to you and your finances!

Why enroll at Ateneo with Bukas?

As a third-party financing partner of Ateneo, Bukas offers students an alternative and flexible payment option to finance your studies. Paying with Bukas allows you to stretch your total payable amount in monthly installments so you can have greater flexibility when it comes to your finances.

How does the Bukas student loan work?

When you apply and get approved for a student loan, Bukas will pay your tuition directly to Ateneo. You will then have to pay your Bukas monthly dues for your preferred tenor or loan length. For example, if you need Php 100,000 for your tuition next semester, you can get that covered by Bukas and pay only Php 10,608.33 every month. This sample computation is based on a student loan with 1.9% monthly interest and a one-time 4.5% service fee.
