In a notice issued on Monday, November 9, the Board said the payments had been processed and released by Friday, November 6, and advised affected students to liaise with their respective institutions to establish whether the money had been received.
The eight batches covered in the latest disbursement are HELB-006973, HELB-007203, HELB-007204, HELB-007214, HELB-007211, HELB-007212, HELB-007221 and HELB-007164.
HELB asked beneficiaries to quote their respective batch numbers when making enquiries at their institutions to facilitate verification of the payments.
The announcement comes amid continued concerns among students over the availability of tuition and upkeep funds, which are critical in enabling learners to meet academic and personal expenses during the semester.
Students await further disbursements
However, the Board did not disclose the total amount released, the number of students covered or how the funds were distributed between tuition and upkeep.
It also did not provide a timeline for the next round of disbursements, leaving students whose batch numbers were not included in the latest list awaiting further communication.
The latest announcement follows a similar update in October, when HELB published 12 batches whose funds had been processed and disbursed.
Students awaiting financial assistance have been encouraged to monitor official HELB communication channels and use the Board's student portal to check their individual funding status.
The Board's latest notice makes it clear that students whose batch numbers appear on the disbursement list should confirm with their respective institutions whether the funds have been credited.
