WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY?

The notice issued by LASU states that applicants are expected to meet certain requirements before proceeding with their applications.

Eligible applicants should:

1. Be duly registered students of Lagos State University (LASU).
2. Possess a valid JAMB Registration Number.
3. Have a valid National Identification Number (NIN).

Students are advised to carefully check their information before commencing the NELFUND application to avoid issues during the verification process.

STUDENTS ADVISED TO UPDATE THEIR RECORDS

LASU has particularly advised students to verify and update their institutional and JAMB records before applying for the student loan.

This is important because discrepancies between a student’s institutional records and the information available on JAMB or the NELFUND platform could result in delays or difficulties during the application and verification process.

Students should therefore confirm that information such as their name, matriculation number, department, JAMB registration details and other relevant records are correctly reflected across the required platforms.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS

Students who experience challenges while verifying or updating their records have been advised to seek assistance from the appropriate units within the university.

According to LASU, affected students can visit the Directorate of ICT or Special Interventions for assistance with issues relating to verification and updating of their records.

Students are encouraged to resolve any discrepancies as early as possible instead of waiting until close to the application deadline.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO LASU STUDENTS

Students interested in the 2026/2027 NELFUND student loan are advised to use the official application portal and provide accurate information throughout the application process.

Applicants should also keep their login details and other personal information secure and avoid giving sensitive information to unauthorised individuals.

The application window is expected to remain open until December 31, 2026, giving eligible students time to verify their records and complete the application process.

Students are also advised to follow official LASU and NELFUND communications for any subsequent updates concerning the application exercise.

Eligible LASU students are encouraged to take advantage of the student loan opportunity and submit their applications before the stipulated deadline.
