The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) provides bursaries which are highly sought-after. If you've submitted your NSFAS application and you're wondering what your NSFAS application status is, we can help.
If you are among those that have submitted their applications and find that whenever you track your application it says ‘Validation’ it means that NSFAS is conducting third party checks with SASSA and the Department of Home Affairs.
This is to ensure that you meet their eligibility criteria based on the information you have provided to them.
Additionally, there is no specific timeframe to determine when your NSFAS application will be processed, so it is advisable that you check your application status regularly. You can do that by following the steps listed below.
