What Does Nsfas Status Mean 2024-2025

Have you finished submitting your NSFAS Online Application? Have you checked your application’s status but kept running into unfamiliar terms? That’s what you should see when you check your application’s status. At least one status result should allow you to see the stage or progress your application is currently in. The issue, on the other hand, is that the majority of students have no trouble comprehending the meanings of the NSFAS statuses. This is what they mean if you read the NFAS Status Check and don’t understand terms like evaluation, filtering, or validation.

• Application Submitted

You might see the phrase “Application submitted” when checking the status of your NSFAS application. With this NSFAS status, you have successfully submitted your funding application.

• Filtering

If the status of your NSFAS application shows “Filtering,” this indicates that NSFAS is evaluating your eligibility for funding and determining whether you are a new or returning student.

• Validation

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is conducting third-party checks with SASSA and the Department of Home Affairs when you see “Validation” as the result of your check.

• Evaluation

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme is verifying all of the supporting documents you provided in your application, as indicated by the NSFAS application statuses and meanings in “Evaluation.”

The following are the fundamental requirements for using NSFAS:

• You must be a South African citizen
• Certified copy of your Identification Document (ID)
• A working email
• A working cell phone number.

We recommend that you read Required Supporting Documents For NSFAS Application for more information on all of the documents you must submit with your NSFAS application.

• Funding Eligibility

Your application’s declaration of your household’s financial situation is being verified by NSFAS.

• Awaiting Academic Results/Admission

In order to ensure that you meet the requirements for being funded by NSFAS, NSFAS is checking your academic results and the admission status of your institution.

Many end up taking this step for a long time. This is due to the fact that NSFAS needs to wait for information from the institution you chose.

• Awaiting Registration
• Your institution is providing NSFAS with information that will enable them to draft a bursary agreement.
• Students will continue to take this step for some time. This is due to the fact that NSFAS needs to wait for information from the institution you chose.

Signing of Agreement

To allow NSFAS to distribute your allowances, you must sign your bursary agreement at this point.

• Payments

Your allowances are currently being paid either through your institution or the NSFAS mobile wallet system.
