The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially begun the Nelfund disbursement process, marking a major milestone in the student loan and educational support initiative designed to empower Nigerian students and reduce the financial burden of higher education.
What Is NELFUND?
The Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) is a federal initiative aimed at providing interest-free loans to students in tertiary institutions across the country. The fund ensures that financial challenges no longer prevent students from pursuing their education.
When Did the Disbursement Start?
According to official announcements, the 2025 NELFUND disbursement phase began this week, with eligible students already receiving alerts confirming their approval and payment. Students are urged to check their application status through the NELFUND online portal.
