HELB outlines the 10 requirements for first-time loan applicants.
Following the opening of the application portal, the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has encouraged all qualified applicants to submit an application for the funds.
The loans board urged applicants to take advantage of this unique chance and submit their applications before the deadline in a statement.
HELB continued by outlining a number of prerequisites that applicants must meet in order for the application process to be completed successfully.
The HELB states that before beginning the application procedure, a candidate wishing to apply for financing must have a working phone number and email address.
Additionally, the year of the exam and the index numbers for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) must be present.
For their application to be accepted, qualified candidates must additionally submit a copy of a passport-size photo in jpeg, jpg, or png format.
Similar to other application procedures, candidates must submit a copy of their Maisha cards or National Identity cards in PDF format, showing both sides.
An applicant must provide the board with legitimate bank account information or a genuine MPESA number that is registered under their name and ID number in order for HELB to easily disburse the cash.
The provision of birth certificates in PDF format will be necessary for applicants under the age of eighteen (18) in lieu of identification.
For individuals who are sponsored in secondary schools, a copy of the sponsorship letter in PDF format is needed.
Five days after HELB formally opened the application portal so that qualified students may submit their applications, the university has sent out its most recent statement.
The Education Cabinet Secretary’s order to the loans board to open its portal for student applications was followed by the decision to launch the application portal.
“I give CS Machogu the order to direct HELB and the Universities Fund (UF) to open the Higher Education Funding portal on June 15, 2024, so that the qualified students can apply for funding.”
“I wish to notify all parents, guardians and students that the results of the funding application process will be released on July 31, 2024,” he stated.
