Over 1.6 million funding applications were received for the 2023 academic year through the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). The amount of bursary funding approved for 2023 was 941,491.There were, however, 317,335 bursary applications that were unsuccessful according to the financial aid scheme. As a result, NSFAS said that the unsuccessful applicants did not meet NSFAS’s funding requirements.

As of today, Nsfas has added an appeal function to the myNsfas portal. Applicants who have been denied financial aid will be able to appeal and possibly receive funding for the 2023 academic year through this function.

On the myNSFAS portal, NSFAS appeals are available. An appeal application with the required information and documents can be submitted by applicants with unsuccessful application status through their myNSFAS accounts.Successful bursary applicants are reminded that appeals must be filed within 30 days of the unsuccessful status appearing.

NSFAS will only fund students for the 4 years they can complete a degree if it can be completed in that amount of time. Additionally, if students need to retake certain subjects or modules to complete their qualification, they will be able to receive funding for an additional two years.Students who are successful in their NSFAS appeal applications will receive comprehensive funding that covers all aspects of their tertiary education.

It includes tuition and accommodation fees that have been fully paid. Additionally, students will be eligible for a number of allowances to cover study-related costs.
