The SLTF has assured its continued dedication to ensuring timely release of funds, enabling students to gain admission into tertiary institutions of their choice without financial constraints.

In a Facebook post, the Chief Executive Officer of the SLTF, Dr. Saajida Shiraz, reiterated the institution’s support for the government’s No-Fees-Stress policy, highlighting its importance in helping students complete their education without the burden of fees.

“As we work to implement the No-Fees-Stress policy, we remain committed to providing financial support to continuing students,” Dr. Shiraz stated.

She further emphasized that the SLTF remains focused on its core mandate: accelerating national development through equitable access to quality tertiary education.

Dr. Shiraz also encouraged beneficiaries to make the most of the policy and ensure that the government’s efforts yield positive outcomes.
