The list will include both federal and state-owned institutions and is intended to promote transparency and encourage participation in the student loan scheme. The focus is on undergraduate applicants and tertiary institutions.

For applicants to access the fund, their details must be part of the data submitted by their institutions to the NELFUND SVS, ensuring seamless verification. Failure to have this verification will invalidate the application and disadvantage the applicants.
The fund emphasized the importance of accurate and complete data from the institutions, including JAMB numbers, matriculation numbers, admission numbers, full names, and dates of birth. Applicants are advised to enter their information accurately when applying and to ensure correct email addresses.
NELFUND expressed satisfaction with the cooperation received from tertiary institutions nationwide, both at the state and federal levels.
