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.

Loan Beneficiary – 2014 – 2019, Bsc. Nursing, Uganda Cristian University

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.
