The **Higher Education Loans and Scholarships Board (HELSB)** has announced the opening of applications for **600 Undergraduate GRZ Student Loans** specifically for the **2026 Academic Year** at **Levy Mwanawasa Medical University (LMMU)**. This is a critical opportunity for school leavers pursuing medical careers.
Applicants must meet all the following minimum criteria to be considered for the loan scheme:
* **(i) Nationality & Identification:** Must be **Zambian** with a valid **Green National Registration Card (NRC)**. * **(ii) Admission Status:** Must be a **School Leaver** who has been officially **admitted to Levy Mwanawasa Medical University**. * **(iii) Age Limit:** Must be **26 years old or below** by January 2026.
**Please Note:** The specific steps for submitting the application (online portal, physical forms, or email) are not detailed in this public notice. Applicants are strongly advised to check the official HELSB website or LMMU notice boards for the required application forms and submission process. **Do not delay** checking the official channels for the definitive method.
Applicants are advised to **submit any documents that support their application** (e.g., proof of high academic merit and high socio-economic vulnerability).
The loans are **limited** in number and their value is **scaled down** based on the level of support required by the applicant. You must clearly indicate your requested level of support in your application.
**Available Loan Levels (Financial Support for Tuition and Fees):** * **100%** * **75%** * **50%** * **25%**
**Crucially:** Student allowances are payable across all levels of support (100% down to 25%). Applicants must provide necessary proof of their vulnerability to support their requested level.
Applicants must be aware of the following conditions:
* **Board's Discretion:** HELSB reserves the right to determine the actual level of the loan awarded, based on its financial capacity and the applicant's proven need. * **No Guarantee:** Admission into LMMU **does not necessarily guarantee** the applicant a GRZ student loan. * **Non-Transferable:** The student loan is **not transferable** from one University to another. Ensure LMMU is your final choice for the 2026 academic year.
