The Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) has reimbursed academic fees for an additional 9,047 tertiary students under the “No Fees Stress” initiative, reaffirming government’s commitment to equitable access to higher education.

Over 9,000 Students Benefit from SLTF Reimbursements

The Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) has successfully disbursed academic fee reimbursements to 9,047 additional students across public tertiary institutions in Ghana.This intervention forms part of the “No Fees Stress” policy introduced by President John Dramani Mahama’s administration, aimed at easing the financial burden on students and families while promoting inclusive access to tertiary education.According to a statement from the Corporate Communications Directorate of SLTF, the reimbursements are part of an ongoing nationwide effort to ensure that no eligible student is denied education due to financial challenges.

Commitment to Access and Equity in Higher Education

The SLTF reiterated its commitment to equitable access and continuous support for Ghanaian students pursuing higher education.“This action underscores our dedication to alleviating financial hardship and ensuring that tertiary education remains accessible to all deserving citizens,” the statement read.The Fund’s ongoing initiatives are expected to directly benefit thousands more students through loan support, fee reimbursements, and targeted financial assistance programmes under the education sector’s social protection framework.

Impact of the “No Fees Stress” Policy

Since its inception, the “No Fees Stress” initiative has expanded student enrollment in tertiary institutions, particularly among low-income households. The policy complements other government-led education financing efforts, including the Tertiary Students Support Fund (TSSF) and the Free SHS Transition Scheme, ensuring a seamless pathway from secondary to tertiary education.Education analysts have lauded the SLTF’s responsiveness and financial management approach, noting its role in strengthening Ghana’s human capital development agenda.
