Thank you so much Sir for the clarity , much appreciated may God bless you in abundance.

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

You're most welcome😇😇

[@alistairfrancis8607]

Good day sir. I applied for nsfas on 6/Oct2022. Af first it said awaiting evaluation, then it said submitted. Now it’s gone back to awaiting evaluation, since mid December. What does this mean for my application? I’m getting worried because Unisa opens for registration on Monday 9 January. And my nsfas application is not yet processed. And also, why does it say 0% for the information and documents section on the nsfas website regarding my application? Because I filled in all my information and submitted all documents that they required

[@annahmoja3409]

What does it imply when my application details & document details are 0%? But my application status says " submitted

[@neoKing01]

Well explained sir thanks for the video, 🖤

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Always welcome🤗

[@thandiphiri3860]

Good day, I went on to my NSFAS like I do everyday but from yesterday, the track application button was not there and when I click on the application status Box instead, it doesn't open. What's going on and what should I do to fix it. I didn't write down my application no. So I don't know how to email them without it. Please respond and thank you.

[@rethabilemolefe7564]

I'm going through the exact same issue. I did send them an email yesterday. If I get any feedback I'll share it in the comments 🙏

[@UnraveledwithJoy]

i think the website is just slow, i am going through the same thing

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

It is the system that is currently down because NSFAS drawing lists/reports of funded students. You can alternately check with your institutions on the funded lists.

[@kayladurant4223]

Hi, hope You all are doing good. I have 2 NSFAS applications. The first was when I applied in 2020 for the 2021(academic year). And the second is for 2022. I applied a second time because when I was checking My status in early 2021, it literally was "gone". It said "No application history" or something like that. But now it's there again. Both of em. The 2021 application is stuck on "AWAITING VALID REGISTRATION INFORMATION FROM INSTITUTION" The 2022 application is stuck on "CHECKING FUNDING ELIGIBILITY". I don't know what to do, and I've been emailing and calling nsfas for months(but we all know how that shit goes). Could ANYONE perhaps help Me out, or just point Me in some form of a direction, please?🤦🏻‍♀️🙏🏼🙇🏻‍♀️🖤

[@mbalicharity364]

Same here 😢

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Apologies for late reply, I am not use what is the status now. but also confirm with your institution if you are not on their list of funded students for 2022.

[@guguthwala]

Same 2022 is on awaiting valid registration 2023 is in await valuation 😥😱😨

[@isis6093]

What are they doing now? We cannot reach them on the phone and the portal isn't working either. Are they going to take a whole year to fix this system????

[@johntheunis9071]

Hello kind sir... I would just like to ask whether you could give me an answer to why the "application status" button doesn't work on my Nsfas account. The "application status" doesn't even show Note: my network is stable and works properly

[@rethabilemolefe7564]

I'm struggling with the same problem. If I get any feedback from nsfas I'll also put down any information in the comment section. If you do as well please help us out by telling us 🙏

[@zanelebhebhe2825]

Hi Nsfas issued a statement on Twitter and Facebook on Friday the 28th of Jan stating that there's an issue with their system. If I'm not mistaken it's an update issue or something.

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Thank you @Zanele, yes it is their system error.

[@Taoleseiso]

When my NSFAS status says provisionally funded and i have registered, can i go to university for accommodation or i should wait for funded?. My classes are about to start.

[@c3abdullah226]

Did u get an answer yet cause i got the same problem

[@Taoleseiso]

@@c3abdullah226 If the university said that you can register because they can see you are NSFAS funded, then you are good to register and you can go for accommodation but always carry some deposit maybe 3K. If the university hasn't said anything i don't know. Different university has different ways of doing things.

Any results , relax. it is not your issue to worry. Follow up with the university.

[@vanessamanaga7692]

Hey , so I applied for NSFAS and it didn't ask for any copies of my ID or my mother's ID just the numbers , when I check the application progress it says 39% complete and apparently it's supposed to be 100% I applied for with my phone ...will they ask for my documents later in the stage

[@nthabisengmodiba9591]

what should i do if while i was applying for nsfas i mentioned my institution as UJ but i got accepted by NWU ....UJ rejected me ...

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Register with NWU, your NSFAS will go there.

[@mbaliyomusanyembe7849]

What shoul i do if the time i was applying for nsfas i mentioned institution as UJ of which it haven't gave me admission but i already git admission into ufs and i got the funding from nsfas as well

[@lehlohonolomokoena6789]

Sir what does it means when ur applications details is 0 % and ur documents details is also 0 %

[@annahmoja3409]

Please I also want to know

[@Lovisa-u1f]

Sorry sir what If I’m using my father surname(reason my parents were married) and he earns more than R300 000 a year but he isn’t part of my life does it mean nsfas is not gonna fund me

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

They can probably check him because they cannot prove that you are not staying together.

[@kovikan8918]

Hello,i need some advice. I applied for nsfas in 2021 for the 2022 academic year.i got rejected because they said my income was greater than 350000 rand but it is not.now i was forced to take a gap year because i had no other bursaries.i really need nsfas.i will apply this year for next year.i meet all the requirements for the bursary.why cant i get funded?do they pick specific people? Or do they not have enough money?

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Usually they check your household combined income, (yours, your mother and your father).

[@thembekatshitshimajola5501]

Hi sir, my status says waiting for administration data so it's possible that nsfas reject me?

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Not possible, that is for the university to do their Job and they will after registration.

[@itsyourdzaddygrizz5965]

can I ask how long does it usually take for NSFAS to give financial clearance?

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

It depends on when did your institution send their claims to NSFAS and how long NSFAS take to respond or pay to the institutions.

[@karabonaledi5557]

when it says that you are provincially funded what does it mean. and when are you allowed to register for nsfas at which step

Yes

[@BoitumeloMalapane]

morning sir my NSFAS says I must upload my guardian's proof of income but I am not sure which document to upload since you said an affidavit can't serve as proof of income. My guardian is my granny and she is not working, she gets SASSA. My application has been on awaiting evaluation since last year.

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

It is normal, NSFAS is drawing reports (lists) of funded students to submit them to Institutions. You can check your name on the list of funded students at your institution.

[@josephmatane950]

Thanks Man but I have question what are possible reasons behind Application getting stuck on evaluation step? Because on my side my Mother had to ID's document both of which everything is 100% "Name's last name le ID number" so am wondering if this double ID document can be the reason why I applied early but am stuck on evaluation step,

These steps aren’t correct and inaccurate. Please do not use the name NSFAS as you have not received right to use our assets

[@ReinventYourselfmm]

Dear Kagisho What assets are you referring to? Because I use my assets to research, record and edit these information I get to help students who are struggling with applications and other questions. The NSFAS team take months to reply to students/ applicants from emails, Facebook page, twitter page and worse on calls. How is it possible to that the steps aren't correct and inaccurate whereas they are explained just on the NSFAS portal and on the FAQs from the NSFAS website. Information that is published on the Newsroom (from NSFAS website), I believe it is for the community and I do not see any crime to spread the news. Please sir, help us by encouraging your team to respond to student's enquiries because they are frustrated. I have helped so much people , Of course you would not know me because I am not on your payroll and I do not do this for firm but to assist students with information that do not need your system. The at least you could have done or do sir is/was to correct and add where we missed information as a spokesperson. Thank you. Mancoba
