The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has announced the processing and disbursement of tuition funds for students following concerns over delays.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

In a statement on Thursday, October 8, HELB said several batches had been processed and the funds successfully disbursed to various institutions.

The batches that have been paid include 007139, 007145, 007147, 007146 and 007132.

📌 What You Need to Know

According to the loans board, students should check their HELB portals or contact their respective institutions for updates on the disbursements.

The released funds are specifically meant to cover tuition costs and will be paid directly to the students’ institutions.

Students who have yet to receive their upkeep funds are expected to wait longer as the board continues processing and disbursing the funds.

The update comes as several students have expressed frustration over delays in receiving their funds, with some saying their applications have remained at the allocation stage for months.

However, according to HELB, the disbursement process has been initiated and will communicate with the affected students once the funds are released to their accounts.

"We are in the process of disbursing the funds and shall communicate once the process is done," the board responded to a concerned student.
