The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has opened applications for the 2026/2027 KMTC Loan for students pursuing Certificate and Diploma courses.
In a statement on Tuesday, August 25, Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) said the application window opened on August 21, 2026, and will remain open until September 30, 2026.
"When you ask us, we listen. You asked us for a HELB loan. Now, we have some good news for you," the institution said.
According to KMTC, students who meet the eligibility requirements can submit their applications by visiting www.helb.co.ke and select the Products section.
HELB has urged eligible students to submit their applications early rather than waiting until the deadline.

This development comes months after KMTC opened applications for its September 2026 intake, giving prospective students an opportunity to apply for various programmes offered by the institution.
In an announcement on Wednesday, July 22, the institution said applications for pre-service programmes are being processed through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) Student Portal.
Applicants seeking admission to pre-service programmes can apply through the KUCCPS Student Portal.
Applications for in-service and upgrading programmes are being handled separately through the KMTC Admissions Portal.
Elsewhere, more recently, KMTC cautioned members of the public against falling victim to fraudsters circulating fake admission notices.
The warning comes after a social media post advertised a purported 'Kipkelion KMTC September 2026 Intake,' inviting Form Four leavers and other applicants to submit applications at Kipkelion Sub-County Hospital and pay a registration fee of Ksh1,500.
In a statement on Thursday, August 6, KMTC warned that fraudsters are attempting to exploit applicants seeking admission to the institution.
"Conmen are out here trying to swindle unsuspecting members of the public in the name of securing KMTC admissions," the statement read.
The college clarified that admissions for the September 2026 intake are being processed through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) and not through individuals or unofficial application exercises.
KMTC further advised applicants to be wary of anyone claiming they can issue admission letters outside the official process.
"Please note that the KUCCPS portal for the September 2026 intake is now open. Anyone claiming to issue you with an admission letter at this stage is conning you," the statement added.
The institution urged prospective students and parents to rely only on official KMTC and KUCCPS communication channels for admission information and to avoid making payments to unauthorized persons.
