Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: APPLICATION FOR 100% STUDENT LOAN
Reference is made to the above-captioned matter in line with the advert dated 19th August
2024, which I saw on the official HELSB website. I hereby apply for a 100% student loan. I am
a Zambian male aged 20 years who completed Senior Secondary Education in 2021. I was
recently admitted at The Copperbelt University (CBU) to pursue a Bachelor of Science in the
School of Natural Sciences NQ starting in the 2024 academic calendar year, which begins on
25th November, 2024.
I am from a low-income family, and although I have both parents, they are unable to manage
the payment of my university school fees. My father is a subsistence farmer, and my mother
is unemployed. Throughout my secondary education, we faced financial difficulties, and I
was able to complete my studies with the help of bursaries and community support.
This student loan will greatly assist me in achieving my goal of becoming a biologist, which
will enable me to contribute to scientific research and development in Zambia. It will also
help improve my family's financial situation and set a good example for my younger siblings.
I am looking forward to your response. Your consideration will be highly appreciated. Find

Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: APPLICATION FOR 100% STUDENT LOAN
Reference is made to the above-captioned matter in line with the advert dated 19th August
2024, which I saw on the official HELSB Facebook page. I hereby apply for a 100% student
loan. I am a Zambian female aged 18 years who completed Senior Secondary Education in
2023. I was recently admitted at The Copperbelt University (CBU) to pursue a Bachelor of
Education in the School of Education starting in the 2024 academic calendar year, which
begins in 25th November, 2024.
I am a single orphan living with my unemployed guardian. My mother passed away when I
was very young, and my father has been struggling to support me due to his low-income job
as a casual labourer. My secondary education was funded by our local church community,
which provided the necessary support to ensure I completed my education.
This student loan will enable me to fulfill my aspiration of becoming a teacher, thereby
contributing to the education sector in Zambia. It will also help alleviate the financial burden
on my guardian and allow me to support my family in the future.
I am looking forward to your response. Your consideration will be highly appreciated. Find
