About Higher Education Financing -HEF Loans
Higher Education Financing (HEF) is a New funding Model introduced by the Higher Education Loans Board for the provision of loans and bursaries to students enrolled in Public and Private TVET Colleges and Universities.
New Funding Model [NFM] was unveiled on 3rd May 2024 to address the challenges that public universities and TVET colleges were enduring as a result of massive enrolment and inadequate funding.
This funding model is student-centered and loans and bursaries will be apportioned to students based on their assessed level of need. The universities and TVET will no longer receive bloc-funding in the form of capitation. The funding to students shall combine scholarships, loans, and household contributions on a graduated scale as determined by Means Testing Instrument [MTI]. Students from highly needy and vulnerable backgrounds will pay nothing to colleges and universities.
