	'''6. Faculty Grants.''' These are provided to faculty members handling courses that require new teaching innovations, or to faculty who are pursuing specific research projects. A full-scale faculty grant calls for P120,000 to P200,000 a year; and a Teaching and Research Grant for P60,000/year. An Innovation Grant is also available to faculty who mentor specific technopreneurship projects enrolled in UPSCALE. Expenses for professors to present their research papers in international conferences also require funding beyond what UP can provide. Donations to the Faculty Development Fund, which started with a P1.8 Million donation from the UP Alumni Engineers, will be of great help.		'''6. Faculty Grants.'''

	'''11. Student Loans.''' To further increase the options for students who need financial assistance, the UP Alumni Engineers has set up the Study Now Pay Later Plan (SNPL). UPAE has enlisted UPERDFI in administering loans amounting to P60,000/year. For sustainability, repayment is due when the loanee can afford to repay on a scheduled installment plan. Donations to the UPAE SNPL Loan Fund will increase the loanee count beyond the present 24 students.		'''11. Student Loans.'''
