The Higher Education Students’ Loans Board (HESLB) is a government agency established to provide financial support to students pursuing higher education in Tanzania. Its primary role is to offer loans to eligible students to cover the costs of their education, including tuition fees, accommodation, and other necessary living expenses. These loans are intended to ease the financial burden on students and ensure that those who are academically qualified but financially constrained have the opportunity to attend and complete their studies.
HESLB plays a vital role in making higher education more accessible to a broader population, contributing to the development of a skilled workforce in the country. In addition to its role in providing loans, HESLB also oversees the repayment process to ensure that funds are available to support future students. Graduates who benefit from HESLB loans are required to repay the amounts borrowed once they enter the workforce.
The repayment system is structured to be manageable, taking into account the borrowers’ income levels. HESLB also offers guidance on financial planning and loan management, helping students and graduates understand their financial obligations. Through these efforts, HESLB contributes not only to the education of individuals but also to the country’s long-term socio-economic development by promoting equitable access to higher education.
