The Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) has announced Wednesday, July 15, 2026, as the deadline for applications under its Regular Students Loan and Students Loan Plus schemes for the 2025/2026 academic year.
In a statement, the Fund urged all applicants who are at various stages of the application process to complete and submit their applications before the deadline to facilitate the timely processing and disbursement of loans.
According to the SLTF, the application portal will be closed after the deadline to allow for the completion of disbursements for the current academic year and preparations for the 2026/2027 academic year.
The Fund disclosed that it has so far disbursed GHS170.49 million under the Regular Students Loan scheme to 47,988 beneficiaries.
