2. A shortlist based on qualification #1 (bona fide undergraduate student of the College of Education) will be created and submitted to the Undergraduate Student Admission, Progress, and Welfare (USAPAW) Committee.
3. The USAPAW Committee will then review the requirements submitted by the students on the shortlist and rank them according to financial need.
4. An interview shall be conducted if the committee deems it necessary.
5. Depending on the available funds/device/s, the topmost students will be given priority to receive the assistance.
6. Beneficiaries shall sign a contract with the OSEC/USAPAW committee member upon claiming the grant.

Other important information about the program:

1. The device must be used for educational purposes only.
2. Students shall shoulder the delivery fee. Similarly, repairs and maintenance shall be their responsibility unless technical problems are proven to be due to a factory defect.
3. Should the students file for LOA, transfer to another College or Institution, or be on AWOL, the device, with complete accessories, shall be returned in working condition to the USAPAW Committee through the OSec.
4. After each academic year, the students are required to accomplish a form with two options. If they are not graduating, they can either 1) declare that they will continue with the device loan program or 2) return the device to the College.
5. The students may return the devices before the end of the academic year if they do not need them anymore. This is also encouraged, so other students can also benefit from the program.
6. Graduating students need to return the device (with complete accessories and in working condition) during the clearance period, so other students can benefit from the program.
