HELB Introduces New Nursing Students Loan; How to Apply
Johnson & Johnson Foundation has partnered with the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) in Kenya to set up the J&J Foundation Advanced Nursing Education Fund.
This collaboration seeks to provide flexible and affordable study loans to Kenyan nurses who want to pursue advanced and specialized courses in approved training institutions within the country.
The aim of the fund is to make quality education accessible and affordable to Kenyan students.
The funding is open to all Kenyan nursing professionals who are interested in advancing their careers and studies in nursing.
This includes salaried nurses and midwives who are working in HELB-compliant organizations and are admitted for Higher Diploma or Specialization medical courses in recognized medical training institutions based in Kenya.
To be considered HELB-compliant, the organization must be listed on the employer’s portal and should comply with the HELB Act.
One of the benefits of this fund is that it enables students to continue working while pursuing their academic programs.
The school fees will be remitted through the Higher Education Loans Board and will be paid back in the form of loans.
