THE ISABELA State University was allotted a budget of P1.358 billion for 2022.

The amount is 24.03 percent higher than the university’s proposed budget.

The additional funding will be used for the university’s Smart Campus initiative, the newly established ISU College of Medicine, and the expansion of its Nursing and Allied Health Program.

Part of the budget will also be used for the implementation of limited face-to-face classes and capacity development in Futures Thinking and Strategic Foresight.

It will also fund sports and socio-cultural development, the Student Assistance Program, and the implementation of Free Higher Education.

ISU thanked Senators Pia Cayetano, Sonny Angara, and Joel Villanueva for their unwavering support to the university.
