Application Steps:

    An authentication link will be sent to your email. Click on that and login to the portal, update your details and click save
    Access the undergraduate Loan Application Form Online (LAF), from the HELB website and fill it carefully.
    Print two copies of the form and have them signed by all required authorities
    Append your signature to the forms and attach all requested documents
    Ensure all information provided is truthful and accurate. Students who obtain loans through misrepresentation of facts can be prosecuted in accordance with the law.
    Take a copy of the LAF to any of the listed Banks for verification and inclusion of bank details, OR
    Drop it personally at the Board’s Office on the 19th floor of Anniversary Towers OR any of the Huduma Centers nearest to you i.e. Eldoret, Embu, GPO, Kajiado, Kakamega, Kisumu, Machakos, Makadara, Mombasa, Nakuru and Nyeri.
    Leave one copy with the bank for delivery to HELB and retain one copy (mandatory)

Also note:

Once your Loan Application Form (LAF) has reached the HELB office, they will notify you, via email, about the receipt of your form and the loan status once they start processing your loan.

For successful applicants, it should take AT LEAST two weeks, from the disbursement date, for the money to reflect in your bank account.

For continuing students, the Dean of Students has to confirm to the board that you are in session for disbursement of your processed loan.

No fees are charged for the application process by the board.

This application must be renewed every year if you are successful and wish to continue receiving support from the board.

This year, about 100,000 students were admitted into various institutions of higher learning and are eligible to apply for support but only about 34% of them will receive these loans. This is due to the reduced funding support to HELB from the government.

HELB was allocated KSH 7.5 billion this financial year, leaving a gap of about KSH 2 billion. KSH6 .3 billion of the total amount will be for continuing students and the remaining KSH 1.2 billion is reserved for first year students. The maximum amount for an undergraduate student is 60,000 shillings per year.
