All TCU students are scholars of the City in so far as their education is paid for by funds from the Taguig City Government coming from the people’s taxes.

This is in line with the City Administration’s quest to continue improving access to quality education, enhance completion rate, nurture a culture of excellence among Taguig residents, and ultimately achieve a better and more prosperous life for the people of Taguig.


However, the City Government of Taguig also recognize the fact that in spite of being free from tuition and miscellaneous fees, many or most of the students of TCU still struggle from the daily transportation and meal expenses as well as occasional projects and class requirements.


Hence, the City Government of Taguig, in its desire to lighten the burden of its people, ensure that they do not only get to enroll, but to graduate; and not only to graduate, but to excel in their chosen courses and produce more honor graduates who can better serve their families, and the city as a whole, passed the Taguig City Ordinance No. 08, Series of 2019 entitled “An Ordinance Providing Educational Assistance Allowance And Merit Incentive To Qualified And Deserving College Students Of The Taguig City University.” This is now called TCU City Educational Assistance Allowance (TCU CEAA).
