Student Loans

Students with admission at Tumaini University Makumira Dar es Salaam College may apply for a loan at the Higher Education Students' Loan Board (HESLB) to cover some of their education costs.

The HESLB was established under Act No. 9 of 2004 and commenced operations in July, 2005. According to the Act, eligible and needy Tanzanian students who secure admission in higher learning institutions to pursue programmes that lead to the attainment of Advanced Diplomas or Degrees may seek loans from HESLB to meet part of, or all, costs of their education.

This stipultion is the legal interpretation of para 6.2 of higher education policy (1999) which ushered in cost-sharing in higher education in the country. This requires each higher education student to contribute to the cost of his/her education.
