A total of 7528 applicants have registered for the student support scheme.

Those students facing difficulty with online application registration is encouraged to visit TSLS offices in Suva, Lautoka and Labasa for assistance.

Students who registered between December 6th, 2021 and March 20th, 2022 are encouraged to load their final offer letters from their preferred higher education institutions as they arrive.
