Loan Beneficiary 2014 – 2019 Bsc. Agriculture, Makerere University

Credit Officer, Centenary Bank

At the time I applied to join the Scheme, I had four other siblings joining higher education institutions and our parents could not support all of us with tuition. The Scheme helped me to work hard at University because I knew I had a debt to pay HESFB helped me go through my University education without challenges, a motivation for my early start on repayment of my student loan such that others can benefit.

Incharge, Loputuk Health Center III, Moroto District

The Student Loan unlike commercial loan is flexible. You are given a long period of time to repay. I am currently in repayment. What motivates me to pay is cognizant of the fact that the time when I was in need, HESFB helped. I must repay to aid others go to School.

I really appreciate the Government of Uganda for this wonderful initiative. I never took this opportunity for granted, having been chosen for this loan scheme I studied even harder and finally graduated with a first class honors degree.
