NSFAS 2023 Appeal Process
NSFAS offers student loans and bursaries for students who qualify. We have details on how you can appeal if your application is refused.
NSFAS offers student loans and bursaries for students who qualify. Last year they approved more than 300 000 applications for funding – but they also rejected 65 000.
If your application is refused you can appeal to NSFAS to reconsider.
Appeals will only be considered on the following grounds
- A material change in combined household income (proof of loss of income needed with a fully completed NSFAS form for students that were not previously funded);
- Loss of a bursary/sponsor in the 2019 academic cycle (documented proof should be provided and should be accompanied by a fully completed NSFAS application form);
- Failure to meet academic criteria where prior academic performance has been satisfactory (provide supporting information and documentation that provides details of the reasons that affected performance);
- Failure to meet academic criteria due to medical condition (s) or death of an immediate family member (provide supporting information and documentation);
- The student had a gap year in NSFAS funding or failed to register previously and could not reapply for funding;
- More than one student from the same household concurrently enrolled at a university/TVET college; and
- Applying for an approved post-graduate qualification (see section F on the appeal form for the list).
