The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has commenced the disbursement of student loans for tuition and upkeep to learners enrolled in universities, technical institutions, and vocational schools (TVETs) nationwide.

This financial aid aims to support students by covering part of their academic expenses and daily living costs.

Starting today, Tuesday, January 15, 2025, HELB will transfer upkeep funds directly into students’ bank accounts.

This process applies specifically to students whose batch numbers indicate “Paid to Account” and whose loan status reads “Disbursement in Progress” on the Student Portal.

For these groups, the tuition loan component has already been disbursed, with the funds now reflecting in their respective institutional accounts.

Understanding the HELB Loan Disbursement Process

Before releasing loans, HELB assigns batch numbers to students.

These batch numbers help track and manage loan applications, ensuring systematic distribution.

Students are advised to regularly check their loan status to verify whether their funds have been processed.

If you have applied for a HELB loan and need to verify your batch number or confirm the disbursement of your funds, follow these steps:
