About SEAIT

Committed to academic excellence and innovation in technology education

SOUTH EAST ASIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

In today’s higher education landscape, a life-changing opportunity to build a better future and a fulfilling career often begins with a pivotal decision: choosing the right tertiary institution. For many, balancing academic aspirations with financial limitations is a challenge. Within this reality, the South East Asian Institute of Technology Inc. (SEAIT) stands as a beacon of hope for aspiring students—offering both affordable and quality education.

A Tuition-Free Institution

SEAIT is a private higher education institution based in Tupi, South Cotabato, renowned for its commitment to providing tuition-free education for all college degree programs. Established in February 2006 by Hon. Reynaldo S. Tamayo Jr. and Mrs. Rochelle P. Tamayo, the institution was founded on the belief that education should be accessible to all, regardless of financial background.

However, SEAIT’s commitment extends beyond affordability. The institution is equally focused on delivering high-quality instruction and is dedicated to producing globally competent, values-driven graduates prepared to face the demands of an ever-evolving world.

Over the years, SEAIT has achieved significant milestones and continues to grow in both scope and recognition. From its early beginnings as a vocational school, the institution has developed into a full-fledged academic hub offering a wide range of programs and producing graduates who excel in their respective fields.

BRIEF HISTORY

The belief that education is one of the means of achieving a better future for oneself and one’s family was the main reason why school was conceived. Added to this is the fact that the founders, Reynaldo S. Tamayo Jr., and Rochelle P. Tamayo, have been looking at ways to give back to the community what they have received from the government as Department of Science and Technology (DOST) scholars. The South East Asian Institute of Technology, Inc. is a product of Tamayo’s desire to make a tangible contribution to the community and provide access to students
