I am trying to import data from a csv file into a database table called SPONSOR.
SPONSOR table has a field called SPONSOR_CODE.
There is another table SPONSOR_TYPE in database which has a field called DESCRIPTION and also SPONSOR_CODE which refers to the SPONSOR_CODE from SPONSOR table.
In my csv file i have the DESCRIPTION field which is VARCHAR2.
I have a function 'get_sponsor_type_code' which returns the SPONSOR_CODE for a DESCRIPTION field.
In my control file i use:
sponsor_code "get_sponsor_type_code(\':sponsor_code \')"
This does not work. Since the SPONSOR_CODE is a non nullable field, i get error that
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SPONSOR, column SPONSOR_CODE.
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("SPONSOR"."SPONSOR_CODE")
How do i fix it?

You need to declare the description as a boundfiller, then use the description as a parameter to your function, without any slashes or single quotes, as demonstrated below. Any such calculated fields must also be last in the field list.
-- test.dat:
1,descra
2,descrb
3,descrc
-- test.ctl:
LOAD DATA
INFILE test.dat
INTO TABLE sponsor
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(id,
description BOUNDFILLER,
sponsor_code "get_sponsor_type_code (:description)")
-- tables, lookup data, and function:
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE sponsor
2 (id NUMBER,
3 sponsor_code NUMBER)
4 /
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE sponsor_type
2 (description VARCHAR2 (15),
3 sponsor_code NUMBER)
4 /
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT ALL
2 INTO sponsor_type VALUES ('descra', 10)
3 INTO sponsor_type VALUES ('descrb', 20)
4 INTO sponsor_type VALUES ('descrc', 30)
5 SELECT * FROM DUAL
6 /
3 rows created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_sponsor_type_code
2 (p_description IN sponsor_type.description%TYPE)
3 RETURN sponsor.sponsor_code%TYPE
4 AS
5 v_sponsor_code sponsor.sponsor_code%TYPE;
6 BEGIN
7 SELECT sponsor_code
8 INTO v_sponsor_code
9 FROM sponsor_type
10 WHERE description = p_description;
11 RETURN v_sponsor_code;
12 END get_sponsor_type_code;
13 /
Function created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> SHOW ERRORS
No errors.
-- load and results:

Still not working. 
I used a function similar to the one given above.
This is my control file.
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:/Sponsor_List.csv'
BADFILE 'C:/bad.txt'
DISCARDFILE 'C:/discard.txt'
REPLACE INTO TABLE sponsor
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
sponsor_code SEQUENCE(MAX,1),
sponsor_name CHAR TERMINATED BY ",",
acronym CHAR TERMINATED BY ",",
owned_by_unit CONSTANT 00001,
update_timestamp SYSDATE,
description BOUNDFILLER,
sponsor_type_code "get_sponsor_type_code(:description)"
)

You need to specify a field terminator for your description boundfiller. If it is a comma, then specify that as you have done with the other fields. If it is whitespace, you can use that. Or, if it is the new line, then you can use X'0A' or whatever it is on your operating system. You are more likely to get quicker more accurate responses if you include things like your operating system, create table statements or at least a describe of your tables, the actual function you are using, a few lines of sample data from your text file, and your SQL*Loader log file. Without being able to see these things, it is difficult to guess what is wrong. In my original example, I specified one delimiter for all fields. In the example below, I have specified them individually for each field as you have done. Either way is acceptable. I have also included the additional columns and different names that you have used.
-- c:\oracle11g\sponsor_list.csv:
name1,acr1,descra
name2,acr2,descrb
name3,acr3,descrc
-- c:\oracle11g\test.ctl:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\oracle11g\sponsor_list.csv'

sponsor_type_code "get_sponsor_type_code (:description)")
