All the first time HElB applications are now being accepted from students placed by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS).

undergraduate university students are eligible for loans ranging from Ksh40,000 to Ksh60,000 per year.

For all those learners who were  placed through Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), the loan amount is divided between tuition fees and upkeep costs, as all those  self-sponsored students have their tuition payments transferred directly to the university once a year.

According to HELB guidelines, all  its loans come with a 4% interest rate and a Ksh1,000 ledger every year, with a maximum Undergraduate loan amount of Ksh60,000 per academic year.

A number of loans available is determined by the length of the program.

A number of needy government-sponsored students get annual bursaries ranging from Ksh4,000 to Ksh8,000. The Bursary is paid to the university.

Repayment of HELB undergraduate loans begins one year after graduation or as soon as the Board decides to recall the loan, whichever comes first.
