The "No Fees Stress" initiative, championed by former President John Dramani Mahama, has marked another major milestone with the successful reimbursement of academic fees for an additional 36,506 students in public tertiary institutions across Ghana. This latest wave of payments is part of a broader national policy aimed at reducing the financial strain on students and their families.
The initiative, which is being administered by the Students Loan Trust Fund (SLTF), continues to roll out financial support to eligible students in phases. With this latest update, thousands more beneficiaries can now breathe a sigh of relief as their academic expenses are being addressed without the usual delays and bureaucracy that have previously plagued similar interventions.
According to SLTF officials, the reimbursement process is being conducted with a focus on transparency, fairness, and efficiency. Students in various universities and colleges have confirmed receipt of payments directly into their designated accounts, signaling smooth coordination between the institutions, SLTF, and partner banks.
This development reflects a strong commitment to ensuring that no Ghanaian student is left behind in their pursuit of higher education due to financial challenges. It also serves as a reaffirmation of the Mahama-led initiative’s core objective: to create equitable access to tertiary education for all, regardless of background.
The SLTF has reassured the public that more disbursements will continue in the coming weeks, with efforts underway to fast-track the processing of remaining applications. The agency has also expressed appreciation for the cooperation of school administrations, financial institutions, and student leaders in ensuring the success of the program.
As the "No Fees Stress" policy continues to unfold, it provides a glimpse into the potential of sustained policy interventions in reshaping Ghana’s educational landscape , one student at a time.
