In a move aimed at improving the efficiency of its student funding process, the National Educational Loan and Fund Utilization Database (NELFUND) has announced a major update that will lead to the removal of over 200,000 student’s accounts from its database. This is part of the government’s effort to ensure that financial support is directed only to students who are still enrolled in their programs.
The update will help clean up the database, removing students who have dropped out, ensuring that the funds go to those who truly need them. NELFUND’s system will now automatically detect and remove accounts of students who are no longer in school, thus preventing funds from being misused or allocated to inactive students.
This move is expected to streamline the funding process, allowing for more accurate fund distribution, faster processing times, and a more transparent system overall. Regular updates will be made to the database, in collaboration with educational institutions, to ensure that the information is always up-to-date.

Though this update may affect many students, NELFUND has assured that affected individuals will be notified and given the chance to update their details if they believe they were removed in error. The goal of these changes is clear: to make the system more fair, efficient, and focused on supporting students who are actively pursuing their education.
This shake-up is expected to free up substantial funding, allowing more students who are currently enrolled to benefit from the support they need to complete their studies. The government hopes that these changes will also inspire greater trust and confidence in the system, ensuring that funds are used appropriately and efficiently.
If you think you’ve been removed by mistake, you can contact NELFUND to resolve any issues.
