The Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, has extended the deadline for loan application for the 2025/2026 academic session from 31 January 2026 to 27 February, 2026.
The Fund extended the deadline to enable prospective applicants additional time to complete and submit their applications, ensuring that no eligible student is excluded due to timing constraints.
The Managing Director/CE of NELFUND, Akintunde Sawyerr, explained that the decision reflects NELFUND commitment to inclusiveness and access; adding that, the Fund observed that some applicants might require additional time to complete their submissions.
He added that the extension will ensure every eligible student has a fair opportunity to benefit from the Fund.
NELFUND encouraged all prospective applicants who are yet to apply or complete their applications to take advantage of the extended deadline and ensure that all required information is submitted on or before 27 February 2026.
