Once you've submitted your NSFAS application, you're going to need to check your application status. One NSFAS status you might see is 'Funding Eligibility'.
Should your status read ‘Funding Eligibility’, this means that NSFAS is verifying your household financial status that was declared in your application.
NSFAS has said that students with an eligibility funding status may proceed to register for an approved NSFAS qualification as lists have been released for certain students whose decisions has been finalized. So, students may start checking with institutions.
There’s no timeframe when it comes to when your NSFAS status changes and how long it will take for your application to be processed.
Students are advised to continue monitoring their application status on the myNSFAS portal.
How Do I Check my NSFAS Status?
- Log in to the MyNSFAS student portal at the official NSFAS website.
- Input your username, password, and click on SIGN IN.
- Search for Track Funding Progress and click on it.
