State institutions eligible for student loan – NELFUND

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

According to NELFUND, the management of these institutions has successfully submitted their student data to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).

The update was shared in a post on the Fund’s X handle on Sunday. Previously, the application process for student loans for state institutions was postponed by two weeks due to low data submissions.

Several state-owned institutions had not uploaded the required student data and fee information to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).

The Fund urged all other state-owned tertiary institutions to promptly submit their complete student data to the NELFUND Student Verification System to ensure their students can benefit from the loan scheme.
