Having Trouble with Your NELFUND Loan, Upkeep, or Tuition Fees? Fill This Form Now!
Many Nigerian students are currently facing challenges with their NELFUND student loans, ranging from delayed upkeep disbursements to tuition payment issues. If you’ve been struggling with these problems, there’s now a simple way to resolve them—by filling out the official NELFUND support form.
Why Are NELFUND Payments Delayed?
NELFUND has clarified that delays usually happen because:
- Academic session mismatch: Payments are now tied strictly to your school’s academic calendar. If your session has ended, upkeep disbursement for that term automatically stops.
- Institutional updates: Schools are required to upload academic calendars to ensure accurate and timely payments.
- Eligibility rules: Only active academic sessions qualify for upkeep allowances.
This means students must reapply whenever moving into a new session.
What Does NELFUND Cover?
NELFUND funding has two main components:
- Tuition and institutional charges – Paid directly to your school.
- Monthly upkeep allowance – ₦20,000 per month, but only during active sessions (not holidays).
This ensures that students get continuous support while studying.
Why Applications Get Rejected
Students often face rejection for reasons such as:
- Uploading incomplete or incorrect documents.
- Name or personal detail mismatches across records.
- Applying for upkeep funds after an academic session has ended.
Thankfully, the NELFUND dashboard provides clear reasons for rejection so students can correct errors and reapply.
