The objective of the Board is to increase equitable access to higher education in Uganda and also support qualified students who may not afford higher education.

The Higher Education Students’ Financing Board (HESFB) has been established to address the problem of inequitable access to higher education by many Ugandan citizens given the large number of dropouts due to their inability to meet the costs of higher education.
