The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has announced an extension of the student loan application process for the 2025/2026 academic session.

The agency said the decision was taken to allow more eligible students to complete their applications and benefit from the programme.

According to NELFUND, the extension will give institutions additional time to verify student records while ensuring that qualified applicants are not left out.

The student loan scheme is part of the Federal Government’s effort to improve access to higher education by providing financial support to students across the country.
