Meaning of different NSFAS Statuses

You may find different messages concerning your NSFAS application status. Here are the details on the meaning of your application status.

Successfully Funded

This means that you’re successful with your application. It means that the application you sent was successfully processed and the funding process is already complete. If you see this status, the next thing you must do is to register then start attending your classes.

Eligible for Funding but Awaiting Confirmation of Academic Admission

If you get this status, it means that you have qualified for funding but you still need confirmation of admission from the institution as the NSFAS hasn’t received this yet. For this status, you have to contact the Financial Aid Office of the institution and inform to follow-up.

Verifying the Household Income with Third-Party Sources

This status means that your household income is still under the process of verification. Credit bureaus are the ones in charge of doing this. They need to verify that the income you declared is less than the threshold of R350,000.

If you see this status, you don’t have to do anything. Just wait for a message that will inform you of the approval of your funding and the confirmation of your academic admission.

Awaiting Evaluation

This status means that NSFAS has already received your application but a caseworker still needs to evaluate it. This process ensures that all of the information you provided in your application has been accurately captured. With this kind of status, you just have to wait – you don’t have to do anything else. You will also wait for a message that will inform you of the approval of your funding and the confirmation of your academic admission.

Application Unsuccessful

This status can mean different things. First, it may mean that you have a threshold income of over R350,000. Second, it may mean that you don’t qualify for NSFAS. Third, it might mean that you haven’t received admission to a TCET college or university. For this status, there is nothing further you must do.
