Scholarship
Government Student Loan Scheme (CBZ)
A repayable student loan paid directly to state universities for tuition, fees and accommodation. This is a loan, not a grant.
Eligibility
Undergraduate students at state (public) universities who need help paying tuition and fees.
What it covers
Paid directly to the university for tuition, ancillary fees and accommodation. Important: this is a loan, not a grant, repayable after you graduate, with interest (recently quoted around 23% per year, subject to change). Borrow with the repayment in mind.
How to apply
Collect the Ministry form and the CBZ form from your university, complete both fully, attach all required documents, and submit to your university committee, which forwards approved applications to CBZ.
