The Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) has announced Wednesday, July 15, as the deadline for applications under its Regular Students Loan and Students Loan Plus schemes for the 2025/2026 academic year.
The Fund is urging all tertiary students who are yet to complete their applications to do so before the portal closes to avoid missing out on financial support.
In a statement issued on Monday, July 6, the SLTF said the application portal would be shut to allow for the timely processing and disbursement of loans for the current academic year while preparations begin for the 2026/2027 cycle.
"The application portal for the Regular Students Loan and Students Loan Plus schemes for the 2025/2026 academic year will officially close on Wednesday, July 15, 2026," the statement read in part.
According to the Fund, applicants who are at various stages of the application process should complete and submit their forms promptly to avoid delays and potential congestion on the system as the deadline approaches.
The SLTF disclosed that it has so far disbursed GH¢170,493,187.50 under the Regular Students Loan scheme to 47,988 beneficiaries.
It also said an additional GH¢17,205,184.13 has been paid under the Students Loan Plus initiative to 1,426 students, including 610 law students.
The money, according to the Trust Fund, are being transferred directly to the students' respective tertiary institutions to cover their full fees.
It further described the disbursements as a demonstration of its commitment to expanding access to tertiary education financing across the country.
"As the Fund works to process and disburse to all remaining applicants for the academic year, prospective beneficiaries are encouraged to complete and submit their applications promptly to ensure a smooth processing experience and avoid potential last-minute system congestion," the statement urged.
