Riverside College, Inc. (RCI) is a private academic institution in Bacolod, Negros Occidental. It is operated and managed by Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings, Inc., the largest private hospital group in the Philippines. With over 4,300 students and counting (with you included, of course), RCI has been known to be the leading provider of healthcare professionals in Western Visayas.

Currently, RCI offers the latest educational technology tools and a holistic and nurturing environment for students to become global leaders and professionals in the fields of healthcare, business administration, and entrepreneurship. And what better way to connect you to the future than securing it? RCI, together with Bukas, can help you achieve just that! Here’s how:

Making 21st century education affordable

When we hear or read about 21st century leaders and professionals, we think about how expensive it may be to access the right education to become one. RCI, however, remains true to its commitment of connecting you, students, to the future. Apart from the college-funded and private-funded scholarships the institution offers, RCI, together with Bukas, also offers affordable and flexible student loans for your education.

How does a Bukas student loan work?

Bukas can cover up to 100% of your tuition for every semester as you pay back the amount in 12 monthly installments or earlier. Take note that every tuition plan comes with an interest starting from 1.90% to 4.75% interest rate per month, and a one-time service fee that ranges from 4.50% to 10%

Once you apply and get your Bukas student loan approved, Bukas will pay your tuition directly to RCI. Your monthly dues will depend on the amount of tuition you indicated (based on your school assessment form) and term chosen. For example, if you choose the 12-month plan to pay for your semester’s tuition of ₱40,000, you can pay for as low as ₱4,243.33 per month.

You can also pay earlier, too! The best part? There are no pre-termination charges and you can even be eligible for rebates!

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