Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), on Sunday, announced that students enrolled in 36 state-owned tertiary institutions can now apply for student loan effective from Sunday, July 7, 2024.
According to NELFUND, the management of the institutions have successfully submitted their student data to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).
A statement posted on the Fund’s X handle on Sunday disclosed this.
NELFUND’s management had postponed the application for the loan by two weeks for state-owned institutions on the ground that many of them failed to upload the required student data and fees information to the NELFUND Student Verification System (SVS).
