30.01.2025 – PRESS RELEASE
The Tertiary Scholarships and Loans Service (TSLS) wishes to remind all potential applicants that registration for the 2025 academic year intake one (1) will close on Friday, 31st January 2025. Applicants who have registered will be able to continue to complete and submit their applications. Registration is creating application account on the TSLS Online Application and Processing System. After registration, students must log in and proceed to complete their application. TSLS will only assess applications that have been successfully completed and submitted.
As of 29th January 2025, 13,827 students have successfully registered and out of that 7,198 are complete applications. There are 3,976 incomplete applications and 2,653 with only registration. Incomplete application means where students have advanced from registration and yet to complete with all requisites.
TSLS is currently awaiting the results of the aptitude test conducted by Fiji Airways for Commercial Pilot Training, with scholarship offers expected to be made by next week. The final aptitude test will be conducted early next week, and students will be informed accordingly by Fiji Airways.
Similarly, the Ministry of Education will continue face-to-face interviews for Teacher Training Programmes for the remaining applicants starting next week. TSLS expects to receive the results from the first round of interviews today and will begin issuing scholarship offers from tomorrow.
TSLS anticipates concluding the processing of applications within the next two weeks and urges all potential applicants to register, complete and submit their applications within deadlines.
Scholarship offers are awarded based on ranking, from highest to lowest, until the allocated quota is filled—except in cases where selection is based on interviews or aptitude tests. Students who do not meet the quota will be offered alternative scholarship options.
Please note that TSLS will reopen registration in Semester 2 for Degree and Quarter 2 for TVET scholarships for schemes where the quota remains unfilled after the current processing period.
In addition to new scholarship offers, approximately 9,940 existing sponsored students will continue their studies in 2025. Existing sponsored students do not need to reapply for scholarship.
