This article aims to provide essential information for continuing students and new applicants on the TESAS program for the academic year 2025.

Understanding TESAS

TESAS is designed to support the higher education aspirations of students in Papua New Guinea by providing financial assistance based on academic merit and financial need. 

Eligibility criteria include meeting specific academic performance benchmarks and demonstrating financial need.

2025 TESAS List for Continuing Students

The 2025 TESAS list will be officially announced by DHERST, featuring both new intakes and continuing students. It is essential for continuing students who do not find their names on the published list to contact DHERST to confirm their status for the academic year 2025. 

Additionally, students who were self-sponsored in the previous year and have been awarded a scholarship for the current year should check their nearest Air Niugini Office for their travel itinerary. 

If students are not listed on the travel plan, they should contact DHERST to provide the necessary travel information. Travel arrangements will adhere to the destinations provided by respective HEIs in the previous year.

Financial Arrangements and Support

To relieve the financial burden on parents regarding school fees and facilitate a seamless commencement of the 2025 academic year for HEIs, the GoPNG, through DHERST, has settled all outstanding 2024 TESAS arrears owed to all HEIs. 

Disbursements for TESAS payments for Semester 1, 2025, are scheduled to be processed soon after registration is completed and lists are compiled and submitted to DHERST. It is crucial to note that Semester 2, 2025 TESAS payments are contingent upon HEIs providing Semester 2 registration lists and the requisite acquittals for Semester 1, 2025.
