The Higher Education Loans Board has released funds for eight more batches of students for the 2026/2027 academic year.

In a notice posted on X on Monday 9 November 2026, HELB said the eight dispatch batches had been processed and disbursed as of Friday 6 November.

Here are the eight batch numbers HELB named:

1. HELB-006973

2. HELB-007203

3. HELB-007204

4. HELB-007214

5. HELB-007211

6. HELB-007212

7. HELB-007221

8. HELB-007164

HELB has asked beneficiaries to confirm with their institutions that the money has been received. Students can also check their individual funding status on the HELB student portal.

If your batch number is not on the list, your funds were not included in this round. HELB has not announced when the next disbursement will happen.

The notice does not say how much money was released in total, how many students are covered by the eight batches, or how the money is split between tuition and upkeep.

HELB has been releasing funds batch by batch since August 2026. An earlier update in October listed 12 batches whose funds had been processed and disbursed.

Second-semester funds are a separate matter. HELB has already clarified that students do not need to re-apply for second-semester funding — applications are done once per academic year — and Semester 2 money will only be released once the semester begins, around January 2027.
