New school, new payment option

Starting this School Year 2022-2023, Bukas proudly welcomes MMDC as its newest partner school, joining other Mapúa schools in the roster; namely Mapúa University, Malayan Colleges Laguna, and Malayan Colleges Mindanao.

As a partner school, this means that incoming and currently enrolled students at MMDC can now avail of a Bukas student loan to pay for their tuition and other school expenses. With this new payment option, students can stretch their budget and pay for tuition over a longer period of time instead of the usual one-time payment.

The Bukas student loan is available all-year round so students can easily apply and pay for their studies on a regular trimester or a summer class. All programs and year levels are also included, with no minimum grade requirement.

Here are some things you need to know about this new payment option:

What is a Bukas student loan?

A Bukas student loan, is a safe, secure, and flexible way to pay for your tuition. When you enroll at MMDC with Bukas, we can cover up to 100% of your tuition for the term while you pay back the amount in 12 monthly installments or earlier. Take note that every tuition plan comes with an interest rate starting at only 1.9% monthly and a one-time 4.5% service fee.

You also have the option to pay off your student loan earlier than 12 months without any early termination fees. Bukas only charge interest for the months you consume your student loan. This way, managing your installment plan becomes more flexible and customizable based on your budget and preferred tenor (loan duration).

How does the Bukas student loan work?

When you apply and get approved for an installment plan, Bukas will pay your tuition directly to MMDC. You will then have to pay your Bukas monthly dues for 12 months. For example, MMDC’s tuition for a term is at Php 20,000. You can get an installment plan from Bukas and pay only Php 2,017 every month.
