The Nigerian Education Loan Fund has reopened its student verification portal for a short time. This final window runs for 48 hours. It helps schools that have not finished verifying their students for the 2024/2025 cycle. The step is key for anyone who wants a NELFUND Student Loan.
Key dates and times
- Start: 12:00 a.m., Sunday, 12 October 2025
- End: 12:00 a.m., Tuesday, 14 October 2025
Who needs to act
Tertiary institutions that have not completed the student checks must do so now. This helps their students be seen as eligible in the current loan cycle. If a school does not finish on time, it will not take part in this cycle. That would hurt its students who wish to apply.
What this window covers
This short window is only for student verification by schools. It makes sure each eligible student is captured in the portal. It supports the ongoing 2024/2025 loan process.
Help with NELFUND Student Loan steps
Students should ask their school if their details have been sent in. They can also follow updates on the official channels. The list of schools that do not comply will be shared with this notice, for clarity.
