English: The CHED said that while there are around 200,000 slots for TES grantees every year, the Commission received 1.6 million applications for TES grants in 2021 and 2023. This prompted the Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education Board to slash the amount to accommodate more grantees. Despite the reduction in the amount of TES grants, however, the Commission was only able to accommodate 250,000 grantees.
Filipino: Ipinaliwanag ng CHED na bagama't may 200,000 slots para sa mga TES grantees kada taon, nakatanggap ang Komisyon noong 2021 at 2023 ng 1.6 milyong aplikasyon para sa TES grants. Dahil dito, nagpasya ang Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education Board na babaan ang halaga ng mga grant upang dumami ang bilang ng mga benepisyaryo. Sa kabila nito, nakapag-accommodate lamang ang Komisyon ng 250,000 na mga benepisyaryo.
