NELFUND Opens Portal for 2025/2026 Student Loans in Nigeria

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has launched its online application portal for student loans for the 2025/2026 academic session. The portal will be open from October 23, 2025, to January 31, 2026, allowing new and returning students to access financial assistance under the federal government's student loan scheme.

NELFUND emphasizes the importance of updating and verifying student records for both newly admitted and returning students to ensure eligibility for the scheme. The initiative aims to provide transparent, efficient, and equitable financial support to students across accredited tertiary institutions in Nigeria, aligning with the government's goal of ensuring every Nigerian student has access to education despite financial constraints.
