The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has opened the 2026/2027 loan application window for students pursuing certificate and diploma courses at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC).
Eligible students can now apply for financial support to help meet the cost of their studies. The application window opened on August 21, 2026, and will remain open until September 30, 2026.
The development is expected to provide relief to many KMTC students who have been seeking access to government-supported student financing.
KMTC announced that the loan application window had been opened following requests from students who wanted to benefit from HELB financing.
Students undertaking eligible certificate and diploma programmes at the institution can now submit their applications through the relevant student financing portal.
KMTC has encouraged eligible learners to begin the application process early instead of waiting until the final days of the application period.
The institution noted that early applications can help students avoid possible challenges associated with last-minute submissions.
