You need to make sure that you will have enough money to pay for your education before you register as a student. Registration and tuition fees, books, travel, lodging, meals, and other general living expenses are all associated with higher education costs.

Every year, ECDoH provides full-time students with financial aid in the form of a bursary. Based on their registration with Lilitha College of Nursing (LCoN), a predetermined percentage of selected candidates will receive bursaries automatically. The Bursary Contract’s terms and conditions apply. The bursary will be retained by students who complete all of their courses and move on to the next level of instruction. If the following occurs, ECDoH/College reserves the right to revoke the Bursary distribution:

• Learners have disregarded college rules and regulations and have not met the minimal requirements for the specified program.
