Students whose 2023 applications for NSFAS Funding were unsuccessful should submit their appeals directly to NSFAS through the MyNSFAS portal. If you are told that you have been rejected for NSFAS funding you are able to appeal the decision. In previous years you had to fill out a paper form but from 2023 this is no longer necessary.

  5. My application is unsuccessful due to missing documents but there is no submit button for outstanding documents. I’ve been trying to contact Nsfas but I’m failing to get through to them. This is so frustrating as the closing date is nearer. This is really so unfair as our applications are deemed unsuccessful due to missing documents that we were never given a chance to upload. To be honest when I applied I uploaded all the documents, I’m so surprised which documents are they referring to.

  6. They the reason is because of the household income that exceed 350 000. Am i also allowed to appeal because there is no way my father is going to be able to fund me, there’s too many of us at home.

  7. Why does the tutorial say that if you’ve applied before end-November that you’ll be able to appeal?
    When will I be able to appeal having applied before the end of December within the first deadline before any extensions?

  8. My NSFAS application was not approved, due to my father’s salary above R350,000. I want to appeal and submit his death certificate, he passed away in November 2021. On MYNSFAS there is no tab that is allowing me to submit an appeal. Please assist.

  9.

  13. Hi there, there is no submit appeal button on the NSFAS student’s account. Both me and my son is doing the appeal together. On a number of occassions I tried to call at 8am, no one is answering phones. Please assist.

  14. My child’s application was declined, due to combined salary above 350k which is not true, what should we do??

    1. Tell NSFAS Why you think they should reconsider their decision by submitting an appeal with the steps provided above.

  15. NSFAS is giving students the run around and this is not fair. Parents and students are calling since 8am for assistants and were receiving endless messages that there is a high volume of calls. Will there be an extension, as the portal at present is inactive so no one can appeal. The applicant is online day & night and this is so wrong of NSFAS to cripple people this way.

  16. When did the appeals open, because the online show the appeal is opened on 24 January but if I try to download an appeal form it can’t display it.

  17. Nsfas rejected saying income is greater than 350k which is not true. So which appeal reason do i choose there? Thank you.

    1. You are appealing with some points and facts that your Household income is not up to or more than 350k.

      Hope this helps.

  18. Can I appeal if I’m R350K but I have a sibling who is also in university but have nsfas? If yes what documents do I need to provide?
