The Higher Education Students Financing Board (HESFB) has announced plans to provide loans to over 1,000 students in Uganda. The application process will be conducted online and will run for two weeks starting yesterday, allowing students to quickly resume their studies.
The Higher Education Students’ Finance Board aims to achieve several objectives, including increasing access to technical and higher education, supporting highly qualified students who cannot afford higher education, ensuring regional balance in higher education services, developing courses critical to national development, and maintaining quality education in public institutions.
