Tertiary Education Student Assistance Scheme
The Tertiary Education Student Assistance Scheme (TESAS) provides financial assistance from the Government of PNG to eligible students of targeted tertiary education programs on a merit basis. TESAS includes financial assistance for study costs, such as tuition fees, board and lodgings, travel, and student resources. Currently, TESAS also includes a supplementary fortnightly allowance. TESAS Awards are offered for one year of study only. Awardees who study programs longer than one year are automatically considered on a merit basis for another TESAS Award for their continuing studies in the following year. Eligibility for Consideration of a TESAS Award To be eligible for consideration for a TESAS Awards, applicants must:
TESAS Award Categories Academic Excellence Scholarships (AES) This undergraduate Scholarship is awarded to:
The annual total number of AES awarded and the required minimum GPA level to receive an AES are calculated at selection time each year in accordance with available funding and application numbers and quality. Awardees are selected within program quotas on a merit basis. This means that not all applicants with a qualifying GPA level receive an award. Higher Education Contribution Assistance Scheme (HECAS) This Contribution Assistance is awarded to:
The number of applications for TESAS Awards with qualifying minimum GPA level is typically greater than the number of available TESAS Awards. As such, Awardees are selected within program quotas on a merit basis. This means that not all applicants with a qualifying GPA level receive an award. How to apply for this Scholarship There is no application for this scholarship. Students automatically qualify for this scholarship after Grade 12 if they meet the GPA requirement and selected for tertiary studies. Continuing students must also maintain the required GPA or else they will loose the scholarship. However, some students can be selected to tertiary institutions but if they fail to meet GPA requirements, this scholarship does cover the costs while study at that particular institution.

We students at Port Moresby Business have not benefit from the tuition fee for the HECAS component. And as a result the the school has not issued our certificate and the diploma paper for the year two.
