Do not leave the original documents with the Social Welfare Office. Please note that the Social Welfare Office does not make applications for sponsorship on behalf of students. Student Loans are limited and scaled down according to the level of support required. Applicants should, therefore, indicate in their application the level ofthe loan required. The Higher Education Loans and Scholarships Board, however, reserves the right to determine the actual level of the loan. Loans are awarded according to the Board’s financial capacity and, therefore, admission to the University does not necessarily guarantee the applicant a GRZ student loan. Applicants are advised to submit any documents to support their application.
The student loans are not transferable from one University to another. Students wishing to apply for the loans should, therefore, be clear in their applications.
Applications by hand should be submitted to Room 23, Maxwell House Annex Building, Los Angeles Boulevard, Longacres, Lusaka or the Higher Education Loans and Scholarships Board offices situated at the Copperbelt University, Riverside Campus, Kitwe.
Rural and female students and students with disability are especially encouraged to apply.
