"I had always had a special love for the sciences (especially Biology) ever since I was in high school and decided right then and there that I wanted to pursue Nursing as a career path in the future. The Students' Loan Bureau gave me that chance by providing the required funding needed and now I am proud to say after 4 long years I now have my Bachelor's degree in Nursing from the University of the West Indies. I also had the opportunity to tap into my creative side and have fun with my first love in music when I entered their Song Competition celebrating 50 years of service. Knowing that I won that competition still feels surreal and it helped me to put in alot more effort in trying to build on my musical craft as well and I have been doing just that ever since. The Students' Loan Bureau has definitely assisted me in more ways than I definitely expected and I can't thank them enough." Thank you for making my dreams a reality, SLB!

My name is Dr. Felisha McDonald, a 2020 university graduate. I was able to achieve my dreams and finance my education through the SLB. I was a loan recipient for 5 years. For those 5 years, I never had to worry about my school fee, just passing school. As hard as that was, it was a blessing for school to be my sole concern. Medical school was a rigorous journey that required a vast amount of time and mental energy. Without SLB, it would have remained a dream. I am truly grateful for this institution as it made my dreams a reality and I hope it continues to forge brighter paths for all those ambitious dreamers. Thank you!

I am delighted to endorse the Students’ Loan Bureau who has been an institution of change and progress for so many students. I for one can testify to that goodness. As a working class citizen of our island home, I can say that without the help of the bureau I may not have been able to further my education. The SLB has truly assisted me in many ways, both directly and indirectly. For one, it has greatly assisted me in becoming aligned with certain persons at my school, who have helped to shape and guide me as I pursue that which lies ahead of me. I can confidently say that what the Students’ Loan Bureau has done for me is and has been the testimony of many Jamaicans. Through their different loan products many (including myself) have and will be able to achieve higher education thereby assisting in human development and by extension the economic development of our country. My only desire is to thank the Students’ Loan Bureau and hope that the good work they have started will only get better until it reaches its best.
