Newly admitted first-year students in public universities and public technical universities who face fee-payment deadlines can now access bridge financing from the Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF) under the Government’s No Academic Fees Policy.

Eligible students may apply through the No-Fees-Stress Portal, and SLTF will advance the required fee deposit directly to the institution to help secure their admission. The advance will subsequently be reconciled against the student’s approved academic fee support.

Yesterday, the Minister of Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, convened a key meeting with the Students Loan Trust Fund Ghana (SLTF), the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Vice-Chancellors Ghana (VCG), and the Conference of Principals of Colleges of Education (PRINCOF). The discussion focused on addressing urgent matters regarding the implementation of the No-Fees-Stress Initiative for the 2026/27 academic year.

The meeting reaffirmed a shared commitment among all stakeholders to ensure that financial constraints do not prevent any qualified Ghanaian student from pursuing tertiary education.

We express our gratitude to the Minister for his leadership and thank all participating organizations for their continued collaboration and support.
We assure students, parents, and guardians that the SLTF, in close partnership with tertiary institutions, remains fully dedicated to realizing President John Dramani Mahama’s vision of accessible, fee-stress-free higher education for all Ghanaians.

Further updates will be shared in the coming days.
