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

NELFUND confirmed that the management of these institutions had successfully submitted their student data to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS) in a Sunday post on the Fund’s X handle.

Previously, the loan application process was postponed by two weeks for state-owned institutions because many of them had not uploaded the required student data and fee information to the SVS. NELFUND has urged all other state-owned tertiary institutions to submit their complete student data to the SVS promptly to ensure their students benefit from the scheme.
