The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced that students enrolled in 36 state-owned tertiary institutions can now apply for student loans, effective from Sunday, July 7, 2024.
This follows the successful submission of student data by the institutions to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS), as contained in a post on the Fund’s X handle on Sunday.
Recall that the application deadline was previously postponed for two weeks due to incomplete student data and fees information from many state-owned institutions.
However, the listed institutions have now met the requirements, and their students can apply for the loan.
The Fund urges all other state-owned tertiary institutions to submit their complete student data to the NELFUND Student Verification System in a timely manner, enabling their students to benefit from the scheme.
