FULL LIST: State-owned higher institutions cleared for student loan

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced that students enrolled in 36 state-owned tertiary institutions can now apply for student loan effective from Sunday, July 7, 2024.

NELFUND said the management of the institutions had successfully submitted their student data to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).

This was contained in a post made at the Fund’s X handle on Sunday.

Recall that the management of the Fund has postponed the application for the loan by two weeks for state-owned institutions on the ground that many of them failed to upload the required student data and fees information to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).
