How Do You Know NSFAS Has Approved My Application?

How Do You Know NSFAS Has Approved My Application? What does awaiting documentation mean?

An NSFAS bursary covers your tuition but will have you receive funding such as a transport allowance and accommodation costs, for the other needs you have as a student. If you focus on your academics and pass your courses, you can be funded by NSFAS until the end of your qualification. To be funded by NSFAS, you need to be studying at a public university or TVET college because NSFAS does not fund private institutions. For South African students seeking financial assistance to pursue higher education, NSFAS (the National Student Financial Aid Scheme) is a crucial lifeline. Once you’ve submitted your NSFAS application, you’re likely eager to find out if it has been approved.

Who should not apply? What does awaiting documentation mean?

Students with a combined household income of more than R350 000 per annum.
Students who have already applied, qualified and received funding. They are automatically funded for the duration of their studies provided they pass their modules and meet the academic requirements.
