  2. This provision is amended as follows:The amount of subsidy for Grade 7 grantees in SY 2014- 2015 in regions outside the NCR shall be Seven Thousand Five Hundred Pesos (P 7,500.00) per grantee for an entire school year, subject to the adjustments approved by the State Assistance Council (SAC)…
  3. The One Thousand Pesos (P 1,000.00) increase in the subsidy is in recognition of the increases in tuition and other school fees in private schools.

The amount of subsidy for Grades 8-10 grantees in regions outside NCR shall be the same as that they received in the previous school year (Grades 8 and 9, P 6,500.00 and Grade 10, P 5,500.00 per grantee). The amount of subsidy for students in NCR remains to be P 10,000.00 per grantee for an entire school year.
