Estudiantes – Your One‑Stop Hub for Student News and Advice
If you’re a student or follow student life, you’ve landed in the right spot. This page gathers the freshest stories that matter to Estudiantes across Africa – from loan rules and tuition help to campus events and career tips. We keep the info short, useful, and easy to act on, so you can focus on studying instead of hunting for news.
Financial Help and Loan Updates
Money questions are the most common for students. A recent clarification from Nigeria’s NELFUND shows how loan disbursement now matches specific academic sessions, cutting duplicate payouts. The new process means you’ll get funds only for the semester you’re actually studying. If a payout is rejected, the portal will tell you why and what documents to fix. Keep your student ID handy and check the portal every week to avoid surprises.
In South Africa, the Central Bank’s interest‑rate cut to 27% has lowered borrowing costs for small businesses, which includes many student‑run startups. While the move is welcome, experts say more cuts are needed for true affordability. If you’re thinking of launching a side hustle, now is a good time to explore low‑interest micro‑loans.
Campus Life, Sports and Culture
Beyond money, student life is full of events that shape your experience. The latest sports roundup shows African teams making headlines – Bangladesh women’s cricket swept Ireland, and Real Madrid’s young stars Mbappé and Vinícius lit up the pitch. These wins boost school spirit and offer internship ideas for sports management students.
Culture isn’t far behind. A new Netflix series “3 Body Problem” is filming seasons back‑to‑back, offering behind‑the‑scenes internships for media students. Meanwhile, music collaborations like Fred again.., Skepta, and Plaqueboymax’s “Victory Lap” are streaming live on Twitch, showing how digital platforms can be a classroom for creative tech majors.
