The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has officially announced the opening of its 2025/2026 student loan application portal, providing another opportunity for eligible Nigerian students to apply for interest-free financial support to fund their education.
According to official reports, the new loan application cycle follows the successful completion of the 2024/2025 phase, which ended on September 30, 2025. NELFUND confirmed that the new portal will be open throughout October 2025, allowing new and returning applicants to register and submit their applications online.
The initiative, launched by the Federal Government, aims to promote equal access to higher education by assisting students who may struggle to pay their tuition fees and other academic expenses.
