After getting admission into the institution of your choice, the next thing to do is to get funding for studies which is why the HELB is giving out loan through a seamless procedure. This procedure involves applying online on the HELB student portal but it is not just enough to apply. Considering the fact that application can be rejected when you don’t meet the HELB requirement, therefore after applying, it is necessary you track your loan application status either online or through SMS.

With Technology, life has been made easier and this has brought an increase in the level of online transactions in all works of life, the educational sector inclusive. Therefore, with the existence of HELB student portals, tracking of your loan status can be done with only a click of a button.

As a result of this, the management of the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has released a link where you can track your loan status for the 2021 academic session at anywhere and anytime. 

After applying for the HELB loan, it is normal to receive a response from them a few days after the close of application. This is dependent on when you applied and how you applied. On extremely busy periods, close to closing dates, it will take some weeks. Oftentimes, hard copy applications take longer, as the application forms still need to be captured. 

If eventually you don’t receive a response from the board after a certain period you do not have to panic. You can easily check your loan status on the HELB student portal through the few steps below.
