I understand you want a letter to request that the institution uses the N118,300 you paid to
cover the outstanding balance of N50,700 (since total school fees are N169,000) and refund the
remaining amount to you. Below is a tailored letter for this purpose, assuming NELFUND has
paid your full fees of N169,000.

**Subject:** Request to Apply N118,300 Paid Toward Outstanding Fees and Refund Balance
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am [Your Full Name], a [your academic level, e.g., 200-level] student in the
[Department/Program Name] at [Institution Name], with matriculation number [Your
Matriculation Number]. I am writing to request that the N118,300 I paid toward my school fees
for the [2024/2025] academic session be used to settle my outstanding fees of N50,700, with
the remaining balance refunded to me, as the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has
fully paid my total tuition fees of N169,000.
Due to the urgency of the approaching semester examination, I paid N118,300 on [insert date of
payment, if known] toward my school fees, which total N169,000. I later received confirmation
that NELFUND had disbursed the full amount of N169,000 to cover my tuition fees for the same
session. As my payment of N118,300 is now a duplicate, I kindly request that N50,700 of this
amount be applied to clear my outstanding fees, and the remaining balance of N67,600
(N118,300 - N50,700) be refunded to my bank account.
For your reference, I have attached the following documents:
1. A copy of the payment receipt for the N118,300 I paid.
2. A copy of the NELFUND disbursement notification (if available).
3. Any other relevant documents [list if applicable, e.g., bank details for refund].
My bank account details for the refund are as follows:
**Account Name:** [Your Full Name]
**Account Number:** [Your Account Number]
**Bank Name:** [Your Bank Name]
Please let me know if additional documents or steps are required to process this request. I
would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to ensure timely resolution. Thank you for
your cooperation and support.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Full Name]

### Notes:
1. **Calculation**: The letter assumes you want N50,700 (the outstanding balance: N169,000 -
N118,300) deducted from your payment of N118,300, with the remaining N67,600 refunded.
Confirm that NELFUND paid the full N169,000, as this affects the refund process.
2. **Institution Process**: Verify if your institution requires an online refund application (e.g., via
the student portal) or specific forms in addition to this letter. Some institutions, like Bayero
University Kano, have digital refund processes.
3. **Attachments**: Attach your payment receipt and NELFUND confirmation (if available).
Ensure your bank account name matches your name on the school portal to avoid delays.
4. **Follow-Up**: Submit the letter to the Bursary or Student Affairs Unit and follow up to track
processing.
If you have more details (e.g., payment date, specific outstanding fees, or institutional refund
procedures), let me know, and I can adjust the letter further!
