The Presidential Decree 577 exempts dependents of military personnel who die or become incapacitated in line of duty from the payment of tuition and matriculation fees in public or private schools, universities, colleges and other educational institutions.
The benefit shall be extended to any one dependent of the military personnel in the active service who have died or were incapacitated in line of duty. The benefit may be enjoyed for a maximum of 10 school years.
The benefit is transferable to any of the dependents of the military personnel, at the option of the next of kin, provided it will not exceed 10 school years. However, the admission of grantees to any school shall be in accordance with the existing laws and admission policies of the school.
As long as the grantee satisfactorily passes the course of instruction based on the approved standards of the schools, the scholar shall continue to enjoy the benefit.
In case of failure in any subject or in a school year, the benefit shall be suspended and the grantee, at his option, may retake the subjects failed, or repeat the entire school year at his own expense.
