Under this policy, "Every high school in U.P. is a program for helping economically- disadvantaged but deserving students gain access to tertiary education in U.P."
In accordance with the UP Policy for Democratization of Admission, the UP High School in Iloilo admits incoming Grade Seven and Eleven students from low-income families, or those with an annual income of PhP 250,000 and below, which makes up 70% of the freshmen population. The change in the Democratized Admission Policy recommended by the UP System Technical Working Group on Basic Education and duly endorsed by the System Academic Affairs Committee and the President’s Advisory Council reserves 30% of the freshmen student population for UP alumni dependents, UP employees’ dependents, and others.
