What Happens After You Apply for NELFUND?

What Does “Pending” Mean?
If your NELFUND status is showing Pending, it simply means that:
- Your application was successfully submitted
- NELFUND is still reviewing your information and documents
- No final decision has been made yet
Pending does not mean that something is wrong with your application. It only means you need to wait.

Why Do Some NELFUND Applications Get Rejected?
An application may be rejected for reasons such as:

- Personal information does not match official records
- Incorrect or incomplete details were submitted

What Does “Verified” Mean?
When NELFUND finishes checking and confirming your details, your status will change to Verified.
This means that:
- Your information has been confirmed
- Your application has been approved
- You are eligible for NELFUND support, pending disbursement
Once your status is verified, payment will come when disbursement starts.

Why Is My Upkeep Still Showing Pending Even When My Fees Are Verified?
This situation is very common and normal.
In many cases:
- School (institution) fees will show Verified
- Upkeep may still remain on Pending
This does not stop you from receiving upkeep payments.
Once your institution fee is verified, it means your upkeep has also been verified internally. The pending status is usually due to system delay.
There is no need to panic.

At this stage, all you need to do is:
