The Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) has announced an extension of the deadline for applications under the ‘No-Fees-Stress’ academic policy to August 7, 2025.
In a statement, the Fund explained that the extension is to give applicants additional time to complete their submissions.
SLTF warned that this is the final extension and urged eligible students to submit their applications on or before the deadline to benefit from the policy.
The policy, a fulfillment of President John Mahama’s campaign promise, is aimed at ensuring that no student is denied access to tertiary education due to an inability to pay fees.
The President expressed optimism that the initiative will help build a more educated and skilled population, driving Ghana’s development agenda and fostering inclusive growth.
The policy provides upfront tuition support for first-year students enrolled in universities and colleges of education. It also paves the way for beneficiaries to access student loans to support their education in subsequent years.
Additionally, at least 19,500 students have received fee reimbursements, according to Government Communications Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu. The SLTF also confirmed that 19,703 students had received second-semester loans as of July 1.
