CONTINUING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TO BENEFIT FROM THE GOV’T LOAN SCHEME.

While speaking to journalists at the Uganda Media Centre on Monday afternoon, HESFB Executive Director, Michael Wanyama said that the targeted continuing students are those from the 22 registered public and private universities and 36 other tertiary institutions.

The executive director of the Higher Education Students Financing Board (HESFB), said Parliament this financial year approved an extra Shs500m to cater for continuing students.

Mr Wanyama also indicated that loans would be given to continuing students who have frequently asked for dead years and those who have been struggling to raise tuition within a semester.

He said studies had revealed that students were leaving different programmes of study in higher education institutions due to failure to raise fees.

Mr Wanyama also said the funds will be directed to the finalists in the 5th, 4th, 3rd and 2nd year depending on the years of their programme.
