According to the higher education ministry:

In February, the government invited applications to 720 slots in this year's student loan scheme. However, with the decision to give loans to all eligible applicants, about 600 more students will get loans.
With the new figure, the total number of student loans disbursed so far under the government's student loan scheme stands at 3,211.
