Government has suspended the applications for study loans for the academic year 2023/2024 due to financial constraints.

In 2014, the government introduced the Student Loan Scheme to increase access to higher education by supporting qualified students from poor backgrounds who can’t sponsor their education.

The scheme has so far supported over 13400 beneficiaries both at public and private universities and tertiary institutions.
