If you applied for NSFAS funding for the 2023 academic year, you might wonder how to track your NSFAS status. The good news is that you can do this in a few different ways.
Track my NSFAS Status
You can track your application using these methods;
Track Online
One of the easiest ways to track your NSFAS status is to log in to your NSFAS account online. Once you have logged in, you will be able to see the status of your application. If you have not yet created an account, you can visit the NSFAS website and click on the “Create an Account” link.
Contact NSFAS Directly
Another way to track your NSFAS status is to contact NSFAS directly. You can do this by calling the NSFAS Call Centre on 0860021150. When you call the Call Centre, you will need to have your ID number and application number ready.
Tracking through a university or TVET college
If you applied for NSFAS funding through a university or TVET college, you could also track your NSFAS status through them. Each university and TVET college has its own process for tracking NSFAS applications. You will need to contact your university or college directly to find out how to track your NSFAS status through them.
Tracking through Email
You can also track your NSFAS status by checking your email. NSFAS will send you updates on the status of your application via email. If you have not received any emails from NSFAS, you can check your spam folder to see if they have been sent there.
Once you have been awarded NSFAS funding, you will receive a confirmation letter from NSFAS. This letter will be sent to the email address that you provided when you applied for NSFAS funding. The letter will contain information on how to activate your NSFAS online account. Once you have activated your account, you can view your NSFAS loan balance, make payments, and update your personal details.
If you have any questions about how to track your NSFAS status, you can contact NSFAS directly or speak to a student advisor at your university or college.
Where Do You Track My NSFAS Status?
Your NSFAS status can be tracked in a few different ways, depending on what information you are looking for. You can check your NSFAS online account or call the NSFAS helpline.
How do you know if your NSFAS has been approved?
If you have applied for NSFAS funding, you will be able to check the status of your application online. You must log in to the NSFAS website using your student and ID numbers. Once you have logged in, you can see whether or not your application has been approved.
Why Is My NSFAS Status Not Showing?
If you’re a South African student who applied for National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) funding, you may wonder why your NSFAS status is not showing. There are a few reasons why this may be the case.
One reason why your NSFAS status may not be showing is that your application is still being processed. It can take up to eight weeks for NSFAS to process an application, so if you applied recently, your status might not yet be available.
Another reason your NSFAS status may not be showing is because you didn’t meet the eligibility criteria. NSFAS only provides funding for students who demonstrate financial need, so if you don’t meet those criteria, your application will be rejected, and your status will not show.
If you’re unsure why your NSFAS status is not showing, you can contact NSFAS directly for more information.
What Do I do If Track My NSFAS Status Shows Unsuccessful?
If your NSFAS status shows unsuccessful, it means that you have not been selected for funding. You can appeal the decision or reapply for funding next year.
Can I check my NSFAS status using the reference number?
If you have applied for NSFAS funding, you can check the status of your application using your reference number.
