Miriam College’s mission is to empower women (later on, students of all genders) through education.

The school has a rich history that dates back to 1926 when the Sisters of the Maryknoll Congregation in New York received a request to create a teacher-training program for Filipino women.

In 1953, after several relocations, Maryknoll College found its permanent location in Diliman, Quezon City. When the congregation confirmed the Filipino laity’s capacity to continue the institution’s operations, they entrusted its operations to the latter. In 1989, Maryknoll College was renamed to Miriam College.

Throughout the years, Miriam College provides access to courses and programs relevant to creating solutions to today's challenges. And with Bukas, earning a degree at Miriam College just got more affordable and flexible.

Sharing one mission

Miriam College and Bukas have a shared goal that enabled this partnership to begin in the first place: the desire to provide students access to quality education. Bukas, as Miriam College’s third-party educational loan assistance partner, provides affordable and flexible student loans to parents and college and graduate students. Note that every tuition plan comes with an interest starting from from 1.90% to 4.90% per month, and a one-time service fee that ranges from 4.50% to 10%.

As a future or current Knoller, you now have more options to pay for your college education. Note that as of the moment, Bukas is only available for Miriam College students of the Quezon City campus.

To know more about our updated interest rates as of January 2024, check out Miriam College's official partnerships page.
