The loans are limited and scaled down according to the level of support required. Applicants should, therefore, indicate in their application the level of loan required. However, the Higher Education Loans and Scholarships Board reserves the right to determine the actual level of the loan. Loans are awarded according to the board’s financial capacity and, therefore, admission into the university does not necessarily guarantee the applicant a GRZ student loan. Applicants are, however, advised to submit any documents that support their application.
The levels of support available for application are categorized as follows: 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%.
Please note that student allowances are payable across all levels of support. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply for support according to level of vulnerability with necessary proof attached.
The student loan is not transferable from one University to another. Students wishing to apply for the loan should, therefore, be clear in their applications.
