When you apply for NSFAS and check your NSFAS status on myNSFAS, you might see your status read 'Cancelled'. Seeing the term "Cancelled" when you check your NSFAS application status can be disheartening and confusing, especially if you were relying on this financial support for your studies.

In this article, we dive into what the 'Cancelled' NSFAS status means and what steps you need to take next.

What Does A "Cancelled" NSFAS Status Mean?

A "Cancelled" NSFAS status signifies your application is no longer being considered because it's been cancelled. This can happen for various reasons.

If you have this NSFAS status and you didn't cancel it, send NSFAS an email so that they can assist you.

Here's What To Do:

  1. Contact NSFAS: Your first step should be to reach out to NSFAS directly. They can provide a clearer explanation for the cancellation and guide you on the next steps.
  2. Check Your Application Thoroughly: Log in to your myNSFAS account and meticulously review your application details. Look for any missing documents, inconsistencies, or errors that might have triggered the cancellation.

  3. Appeal the Decision (if applicable): If you believe the cancellation is a mistake, you can lodge an appeal within 30 days of receiving the status update.

Applicants are urged to continuously check their NSFAS status to keep up-to-date with the progress of their NSFAS application.
