GOVERNMENT has removed many of the application requirements for its Student Revolving Loan Fund to facilitate Barbadian students who must now pay tuition fees at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus.
While disclosing this yesterday, Government Senator Harry Husbands said some students still remained ignorant about arrangements for accessing the fund.
