Questions

How many universities are listed in Philippines?

AlmiStudy currently records 16 universities in Philippines. This reflects what has been verified; it is not padded and may grow as more are confirmed.

Are these universities officially recognised?

Each entry names the national authority to verify with. AlmiStudy records information to help you check recognition — it is not itself an accreditation body and does not endorse any institution.

Is AlmiStudy free?

Yes. AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld and is free to use. The wider project supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in Lahore.

Why this is free

AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to help people find their way to education — and the wider project supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
