MAUTECH New Students: Complete Institutional Data Capture for NELFUND Loan Application

Modibbo Adama University of Technology (MAUTECH), Yola, has issued important instructions for new students seeking to apply for the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) student loan for the 2025/2026 academic session. All new students must first complete an institutional data capture form before they can proceed with their loan applications.

What This Notice Means

According to Dr. Munzali A. Abana, Acting Director of ICT at MAUTECH, the university needs to collect and upload your biodata and admission details to the official NELFUND server before you can apply for the student loan. This institutional data capture is a mandatory first step.

Important Clarification

Note: Completing the institutional data capture form does NOT mean you have applied for the NELFUND loan. The form simply grants MAUTECH permission to upload your student details to the NELFUND portal, which is required before you can submit your actual loan application.

How to Complete the Data Capture

Follow these steps to complete the process:

1. Scan the QR code provided by MAUTECH or use the official link sent to new students
2. Fill in all required information accurately (personal details, admission information, etc.)
3. Submit the institutional data capture form
4. Wait for confirmation that your details have been uploaded to the NELFUND server
5. Once confirmed, proceed to the NELFUND portal to submit your actual loan application

Why This Matters

The NELFUND student loan provides interest-free financial support to qualified Nigerian students for:

• Tuition fees
• Other institutional charges
• Upkeep during your studies

Completing this data capture promptly is essential to avoid delays in accessing the loan facility. The application deadline for NELFUND loans for the 2025/2026 session is January 31, 2026.
