The government’s “No Fees Stress” initiative, which aims to reimburse students who have already paid their tertiary fees, is progressing steadily. A new update shows that thousands of students have started the registration process online.
According to Felix Ofosu Kwakye minister of Govenment Communications, “as of now, 57,327 students have accessed the portal designed for this special initiative. Out of that number, 41,647 students have completed the registration process successfully”.
This program was introduced to help first-year students in public tertiary institutions who have already paid their school fees. The government promised to reimburse such students, and registration on the official portal is a key step in making that happen.
Why the Registration is Important
The registration process is very necessary for several reasons:
- Banking Details: The government needs each student’s bank account information to send the reimbursement directly. Without this data, the money cannot be sent.
- Validation: Public tertiary institutions have already submitted lists of students who are eligible for the reimbursement. However, the government needs to cross-check and validate these lists. This ensures that only the right students receive the funds.
- Transparency: The registration helps ensure that the process is open, fair, and free from errors or fraud. It provides a way to track and manage payments properly.

Who Can Register?
All first-year students in public tertiary institutions who paid their fees already are encouraged to register. Whether you are in a university, teacher training college, or nursing school, if you paid your fees before the government’s announcement, you are likely eligible. APPLY HERE
Even if you’re not sure, it’s still good to visit the portal and go through the steps. The system will guide you and let you know if you qualify.
What Happens Next?
Once the registration period is over, the government will review all the data. After that, payments will begin. The money will go straight to the bank accounts of students who have completed the process and meet the eligibility requirements.
This is a huge relief to many students and families, especially those who had to borrow money to pay fees. The reimbursement will help them settle debts or use the money for other educational needs like books, accommodation, or feeding.
A Word of Advice
If you have not yet registered, do so now. Don’t wait until the deadline is close. Many students are already done, and you don’t want to be left out.
Also, remember to double-check your details, especially your bank account name and number, to avoid any issues during payment.
Final Words
The “No Fees Stress” initiative is one of the government’s ways of supporting students and promoting access to education. It’s working, and thousands are already benefiting.
Make sure you’re part of it. Register now and share this information with others who may also qualify.
