ELIGIBILITY
Applicants should be:
(i) Zambians with a Green National Registration Card (NRC)
(ii) School leavers admitted at Kwame Nkrumah University
(iii) School leavers who completed Grade 12 in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021

METHOD OF APPLICATION
Applicants should submit the following:

- Two (2) recent passport size photos of the candidate;
- An application form bought from any NATSAVE branch.
- A clear copy of the receipt from NATSAVE.
The Loans are limited and scaled down according to the level of support required.
Applicants should, therefore, indicate in their application the level of the loan required. However, the Higher Education Loans and Scholarships Board reserves the right to determine the actual level of the loan. Loans are awarded according to HELSB’s financial capacity and, therefore, admission into the University does not necessarily guarantee the applicant a GRZ student loan.
- The student loan is not transferable from one University to another. Students wishing to apply for the loan should, therefore, be clear in their applications.
- Do not send or hand deliver any application documents to any institution other than the ones provided below.
Applications should be addressed and sent to:
The Chief Executive Officer
