Recently a young person contacted me saying “Can you help me apply for NSFAS? Make it simple. What do I need to do?” I responded:
Applying for NSFAS is not simple!
It’s best to be up front about that. However, there are some things you can do to make it less painful.
How to Apply for NSFAS Online
1. Open an email account. Make sure you save your user name and password in a safe place. Your phone is not a safe place.
2. Download the consent form
3. Print the consent form and fill it out. Parents/guardians in your house must sign.
4. Make a copy of you ID and the ID of your parent(s) and guardians(s) living with you.
5. Get a recent pay advice letter or salary slip or pension advice letter for each parent or guardian living with you. SASSA is not required and is not counted as income. If your parent(s) or guardian(s) are unemployed, you do not need to provide any income information.
6. Scan all paperwork and save in your email account or on a flash drive
7. You are now ready to apply online. Go to
www.nsfas.org.za Do not apply via paper application. NSFAS has a limited budget. They do get more applications than they can fund. They process online applications before paper applications.
8. You will need to register. Make sure you write down the username and password you use so that you can check your status later.
9. Your name can be your username as long as no one else has the same name
10. Your password must contain UPPER CASE LETTERS, lower case letters, numbers1234567890 and a special character !@#$%^&*() And it must be at least 8 characters long. Examples: SiyaG291! deWet98$ fun@Sun9
11. Once you are registered you can just follow the instructions on the NSFAS page. Sometimes it takes a while for NSFAS to process your registration so you might need to come back another day. Sometimes the website doesn’t work.
12. You need to be patient. 🙂 Breath in, breath out. If it doesn’t work one day, try again another day.
Applications are open from September – November online at the NSFAS website or through your NYDA office. NSFAS also has a second semester application period for TVET Colleges only, apply through your college.

Do I have to apply again if I have previously applied but did not get an institution?
Hi, Yes you do apply again however you use your user name and password from before as your details are already in the system. All the best, Kath
but how. because if i use my username and password. its says “nsfas profile has already active”
Hi, When you get to this page select “sign in”: https://my.nsfas.org.za/Application/selfservice.jsp Your profile is active. That means they still have your details for your name and ID number and user name and password. It does not mean you have an application with them at the moment. All the best, Kath
Hi I’d like to ask when should I start applying for nsfas for next year

https://my.nsfas.org.za/mynsfas/selfservice.html
Is it possible for me to apply NSFAS if I didn’t pass matric
Hi, Yes you can apply for NSFAS for most courses at a TVET college. If you go to your nearest college they will help you select a course. There are lots of options for people without matric. You can also complete your vocational matric at TVET college and NSFAS will fund that. You do not need to apply to TVET before you apply to NSFAS. NSFAS closes 30 Nov, 2019 All the best, Kath
Hi Kath, I have applied for NSFAS and when I checked my application status it says awaiting evaluation. What does this mean?
Hi, It means they have your application but they haven’t gone through it yet. They’ll get back to you. Kath
Hi there are some documents i Didn’t attach some documents
So how do ii apload them?
Hi, If your application is complete and you got a reference number then NSFAS will request any documents needed by email. If your application is incomplete due to outstanding documents then you need to go back into your application and upload them. To upload: save the document on your device. Then click on the upload button in your application and search for your document. Select it. It should them upload. All the best, Kath
Hi Kate,
I made a mistake on my online application, is it possible for me to delete my application and apply again?
Hi, Unfortunately no, you can’t do that. You should be able to edit your application though. Otherwise, you will need to phone NSFAS for assistance. Sorry. Kath

Hi, As long as you passed your modules with an average of 50% or more then you are still funded for this year. If you haven’t received any funding then you should contact NSFAS. All the best, Kath
hy can I apply for NSFAS now so that it can fund me for second semester
Hi, As far as I’m aware, NSFAS are not taking second semester applications however you can phone them to check. They might have an arrangement with TVET Colleges for learners starting second semester. You could probably also phone your nearest TVET College and ask. Kath

Hi Gontse, It is not easy to register. Read this blog for some helpful tips: https://saili.org.za/how-to-apply-for-nsfas/ You have to be patient. You can get help from the NYDA offices. If you are applying for TVET college you can get help there also. All the best, Kath

Hi There How Long Does Nsfas Takes To Respond When I Appliyed On May 2018 And Please I dont Know I Want 2 Do Nursing Is Nfsas Going To Help.Can U Please Send The Answers To My Emai nthabiseng kate@gmail.com
Hi Kate, NSFAS are not open for applications now. You can apply in August-November to study in 2019. NSFAS will fund for nursing as long as you can get an offer for a place at a tertiary institute. If you send me your matric results I can offer you some advice. Kath
Hi, I have just heard that NSFAS are working with TVET colleges to provide funding for second semester applications. If you are applying to a TVET then they can help you with the funding application. Kath
I was learned 3d semester but i didn’t find accommodation fee my question is nsfas will pay to me to continue
Hi Thembile, There are three possible answers. 1. If you did not register and sign a SOP (agreement) with NSFAS then you cannot continue this year. You can apply for your course and for NSFAS again to study in 2019. 2. If you did register and sign a SOP but you did not study and withdrew then you can check with NSFAS for whether they are going to fund you for second semester. 3. If you did register and sign a SOP but you did NOT withdraw then NSFAS has paid your semester fees but you have failed (as you didn’t withdraw). In this case you will loose your funding. I hope it isn’t this one. Kath
Hi, when NSFAS re-opening again for second semester
Hi, NSFAS are not opening for second semester this year. They have already received all the applications they can manage for this year. Sorry for the bad news. Kath
Hi, I have just heard that NSFAS are working with TVET colleges to provide second semester funding. If you are applying to a TVET they can help you with the funding application. Kath
hy kate im doin Matric this year , I just wanna ask that ,Does NSFAS pay for all your needs or its exclude your rent if u are not living in Res
Hi, NSFAS assess your family income and also your needs. If your family can’t pay for anything then NSFAS may cover all your costs including Res or living expenses (if you are not in Res). Kath
Hy there i want to study IT ,what are requirements if my parents are dead i dont have anyone. And how long does it take to be answered.
Hi, You can apply for funding when NSFAS opens in September this year. You can apply for your I.T. course now. NSFAS should reply that they have your application within a few days. However, processing your application can take much longer. It is a good idea to set some money aside for costs that you will have whilst waiting for NSFAS to resolve your application. The earlier you apply for NSFAS the quicker you will hear from them. You will need death certificates for both your parents. Kath
Hi, I have just found out that NSFAS are working with TVET colleges for second semester funding. The college can help you with the application. Kath
Good day, when I applied I there was no way to attach my mother’s death certificate. How can I do this? Or do I need to separately send it to NSFAS?
I was also not asked if I would be requiring accommodation. Please advise how to fill in this information.
Hi, Just keep an eye on your email. If NSFAS need additional documents from you they will contact you and ask you to send them. All the best, Kath
When is nsfas opening for 2019 applications ?? And is it safe to apply online ??
Hi, It is perfectly safe to apply online and NSFAS are more likely to respond quickly to an online application than a paper application. I think they are opening in September. Kath
Hey am Disebo I want to do teaching next year will nsfas be able to fund me?and how do I apply please help

hi,im lerato i passed matric last year with diploma and i dont have parents i want to study mechanical engineering,i want to apply for nsfas how do i do it?
Hi Lerato, You should be able to apply to a TVET college for a NDip in engineering. They will check your maths and language and make sure you are going to be able to manage the course. They can also assist you with registering for NSFAS. TVETs are open now for second semester applications. Here is what you will need for your NSFAS application: https://saili.org.za/how-to-apply-for-nsfas/ Here is a list of TVET colleges: http://www.tvetcolleges.co.za/ Kath
Hi …i am wanting to apply for funding to study at tertiary institution in 2019 . I am currently in grade 12 and heard about this organisation through a friend. I am not sure how to go about making application…would you please advise me further…Thanking you in advance…Sammy
Hi, You can apply for tertiary study now. You can apply to NSFAS from September on their website or at an NYDA office or at TVET College if you are going to study at a TVET College. There are also some great bursary websites. Here are my favorites: https://saili.org.za/bursaries-south-africa/ All the best, Kath
Hey.
I need to apply for nsfas. I failed to apply last year a lot of things in my head and the application was not easy. I will like to ask if I may download an nsfas application form, complete it, scan it and send it to the nsfas email. If that can be possible I will like you to give me the exact email to send my application to.
Looking forward to hear from you
Please email me all I’ve asked to zinhle99ngwenya@gmail.com
Hi, You cannot apply via email. The online application is difficult. You can get help at an NYDA office or TVET college (if you are going to attend the TVET). Kath
how to for nsfas?
https://saili.org.za/how-to-apply-for-nsfas/
Hey kath my i live with my mum who is earning a little nd my granny who is a pernsioner will nsfas help me
Hi, If your family income is under R320 000 per year then NSFAS will help you. You can apply from September to study next year. You can also apply for second semester at TVET or University of Technology but they are closing today. All the best, Kath
Ive applied in 2016 firstly for 2017 and ive been taken by nsfas (provisionally funded) and the next thing i wasn’t given my allowances by nsfas and i called them and they said i should wait for my Laf form and i keep on calling them until the year end ,and sadly it ddint come to my mind that i should apply for nsfas for 2018 because i was already taken ,and i called them at the beginning of 2018 during registration time to check my status and they said my account have been closed because i ddnt sign that form and my funds have been taken back by nsfas and there’s no way i could get nsfas because it was already closed for applications. So i want to know who’s fault it is and what should i do?
Hi Aphele, If the course you were hoping to study is at a TVET or University of Technology for second semester, you can still register today and apply for NSFAS. Today is the last day though. In terms of fault, I don’t think it can help you to know that I think it’s NSFAS’s fault. That isn’t going to turn into money for you. NSAFAS have an appeals process but it doesn’t help for cases like yours. Sorry Aphele. Kath
Hy application for 2019 opens in September?
Yes, that’s right.
Hi there. I would want to apply for a bursary to study architectural technology at Tswane University of Technology. I still live with my parents but they are not going to pay for my studies even though their salary is more than R350 000 annually.
I am currently working at an architecture firm and would like to fill in my own details and salary for the bursary seeing that my salary is less than 350 000 annually. Will this be possible?
Thank you for your time.
Hi Calvin, You can look for a merit bursary (based on your academic performance) but you can’t look for a needs bursary as your family income will be taken into consideration. Under the new NSFAS guidelines you would be considered a GAP student. This article has some ideas for funding: https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/economy/the-nsfas-free-higher-education-factsheet-12676104 This website has links to bursary websites where you can search for architecture bursaries: https://saili.org.za/bursaries-south-africa/ Kath
Hi. I made a mistake and applied as a postgraduate. I wanted to apply for 2019, how do i delete my profile. When are the applications for 2019 opening?
Hi, Applications are opening in September. I think you will find that NSFAS delete your profile for you and you will start fresh with the application. Kath
hey Kath I am Amahle
I don’t have a father he left me at a very young age.my mother works for the Government and she is a single parent with 3 children including myself.so my question is..is it possible that NSFAS will accept my application and help me while i study?since my mother is working for the Government
Hi Amahle, If your family income is under R320 000/ year, before deductions, then you can get assistance from NSFAS. All the best, Kath
Hi kath
Can nsfas fund me if i want to study medicine for 2019. I have already applied at the university and awaiting response
Yes you can apply to NSFAS for funding in September. There are also a couple of bursaries available: http://www.zabursaries.co.za/government-bursaries-south-africa/western-cape-department-of-health/ or read this blog to find links to bursary websites: https://saili.org.za/bursaries-south-africa/
Hi .. I applied for nsfas last year … Buh now when i check my status it says “Provisionally funded” what do i do from there?? Im confused
Hi, That means that you will have the funding as long as you are registered at a tertiary institute. Go to the financial office at your institute and make sure that they know you applied for NSFAS and have notified NSFAS that you registered. If your institute has done this paperwork from their side, then you need to call NSFAS. All the best, Kath
Hi kath
I am a second year student and I currently have no funding. I been applying but been denied funding 3 times yet I am a deserving student. If my application for 2019 becomes approved, will nsfas settle my 2018 debt??
Hi Sinethemba, Unfortunately NSFAS will not settle your 2017 debt. If you are approved, it is only for your 2019 costs. At many institutes, this means that you will not be allowed to graduate until your debt is paid. If you have a reference number from your 2018 NSFAS application, you should go to the website and see if your SOP/ LAF is ready to sign: http://www.nsfas.org.za/content/signyourlafsop.html You can also go to the financial office at your institute to discuss a plan for paying off your 2017 debt. Your institute will be less likely to refuse you graduation if you are actively working to pay off your debt. All the best, Kath
Hi, I have been funded for the past two years and last year I failed a module. When I wanted to apply they said those that were funded in 2017 need not apply again for 2018 because we would be automatically funded. I haven’t received funds or a form to sign, what should I do?
Hi, It is true that you do not need to re-apply. As long as you passed your modules with an average of 50% then you should be re-funded. Have you looked on the website for your LAF/SOP?http://www.nsfas.org.za/content/signyourlafsop.html If you don’t see it there you will need to call NSFAS. All the best, Kath
Hey Kath. I’m Sipho (4th yr undergrad)
Really appreciate what u doing do us here. My application got rejected (50% progression requirement not met) and I’d like to appeal but I have never consulted a professional about the distresses I’ve had. How could one possibly appeal successfully?
Thanks.
Hi Sipho, Your institute should have free or low fee counselling services. I suggest you make an appointment and get an assessment that you can use to appeal the decision. Please also be aware that there is a time limit on the appeal process. You lodge your appeal at the financial aid office at your institute. All these services will be open now, even during semester break. I hope you can sort it out. Kath
Hi, I am a first year student at UNISA and work to pay my rent and studies etc, I no don’t live with my parents as I don’t have any legal parents or guardians, I rent by someone and I am struggling financially, will I be able to apply for a nsfas study loan for funding for 2019, and will I then still need a consent form etc from “parents”. Please kindly assist.
Hi, Yes you can apply to NSFAS. If you don’t have any parents you can provide a death certificate or a letter from a social worker or church pastor (if you belong to a church). They will then use your income for the assessment. All the best, Kath
Hi, Yes you can apply to NSFAS using your income only. You will need to provide proof that you have no parents – death certificate or a letter from a social worker or church pastor who knows you well. The letter must be on letterhead with contact details. You can also phone NSFAS and check. All the best, Kath
When will online applications for NSFAS be openen for 2019?
Hi, I think they open in August. All the best, Kath
Applications open in August 🙂
Hey Kath….mom is blacklised and unemployed so is it safe to apply?again does it fund accommodation and transport aswell for TVET college learners?
Hi, NSFAS assess all your study costs including fees, accommodation, transport, living costs and stationery. TVET college learners are included. Your mom’s income (nothing) will be used for the assessment and also your dad’s. If you don’t know your dad or he is deceased you will need to provide proof of this. All the best, Kath
Hi my name is Mabotle, I applied for nsfas last year January on the 16th of june this year, I received a call saying that I should sign the laf, but my application is not found, I keep getting one time pins which I did not request, today I received a message saying that my contact details have been changed.
Hi, That is really weird. You need to phone or email NSFAS about this urgently. Tel No.: 0860 067 327 Email: info@nsfas.org.za Hope it works out, Kath
Hi Kath
I’m asking if it possible to have one more bursary while being funded by NSFAS, will it continue funding you or it will eventually withdraw?
Hi,
Yes you can have NSFAS and a bursary, just let both parties know. If they both pay your fees then your fee account will be in credit and the money will be paid back to NSFAS at the end of the academic year. Lots of bursaries don’t cover everything and that’s where NSFAS can help with other expenses. All the best, Kath
Hi I am Aneswa, I’m doing my grade 12 this year. How can I apply for nsfas and nsfas will be open when? Please contact me via email because I can’t remember how I got to this page.

I applied for nsfas last year and got a reference number for 2018
But i didnt go to school this year
But next year I want to go to school
Should I apply again even if I got a reference number last year ?
Yes, you need to apply again.
I m trying to go online when I try to write my username and password it’s say invilid
Hi, Did you apply via the website or do a paper application at a NYDA office? If you applied online then you created a user name and password at that time. Select “already registered” and put in your user name and password. If you have forgotten your password, click “forgot password”. If you applied via NYDA then you will need to create a user name and password. There are lots of rules about the types of usernames and passwords they will take. If you read the blog these comments are attached to, it will help guide you. All the best, Kath
HELP Hi my parent’s died i have no one and i don’t have pay slip can i apply for nsfas without using pay slip only using death certificate??????????
Hi, Yes you can apply with the death certificate. All the best, Kath
Hi do I have to sign a concern form if I dnt have parents/guadien ?
Hi, That is a a really good question and I don’t know the answer. Please contact Khetha online chat at https://www.careerhelp.org.za/ or SMS “call me” at 072 204 5056. All the best, Kath
Hi, Not sure if you contacted Khetha but if you are under 18 you must have guardians to sign. If your parents are deceased then you provide their death certificates and sign the consent form yourself. If you don’t know where your parents are and have been self supporting with no other adults in your home supporting you, you sign the consent form yourself. All the best, Kath

Hi, I think they are going to open in September for 2020 study. 2019 is closed. Kath
Hi’ am Thereso i was successfully funded by nsfas and completed my tvet qualification in 2017 june, so i took a gap year now 2018, i will like to further my studies with university, so is it necessary for me to apply as i was previously funded or i must apply because of a gap year?
Hi, I think you will have to reapply because of the gap year, however, I suggest you phone NSFAS to check. All the best, Kath
Hi
I applied for nsfas..i send all the documents and they send me an sms that my application was successfully submitted about 6 days ago.Today they send me an sms that my consent form and id copy are missing..how come after i got sms that application was successful.
Hi, The first SMS means that they got your application. But when they tried to process it, documents were missing. So they put your application on a waiting pile. They processed all the complete applications first. They are only contacting incomplete applications now. It is urgent that you upload the missing documents as soon as possible. All the best, Kath
Hi, I’m Bongiwe I was trying to apply but I submitted my application without uploading all the documents can u please help me what do I have to do now I want to re-upload the documents
Hi Bongiwe,
I think you can add your documents via the tab at the top right of http://www.nsfas.org.za/content/ MYNSFASACCOUNT If you can’t find how to add your documents, phone or email NSFAS and ask if you can email them in. It is really important because they won’t process your application with missing documents. All the best, Kath
If you can’t figure it out: contact a Khetha consultant at https://www.careerhelp.org.za/ Or SMS “phone me” to 0722045056 Khetha can also connect you directly to NSFAS. All the best, Kath
hi I’m banele mgobozi i would like to apply I’ve already passed my matric
Hi, NSFAS is open for applications at: http://www.nsfas.org.za/content/ or go to your nearest NYDA office for assistance. You also need to apply for a tertiary institute and applications are closing soon. All the best, Kath
Tried applying online but when I touch “submit” to send my application, nothing happens. Please help.
Hi, You probably have errors in your application. Go back and check it carefully. Anything marked with an * is compulsory and you can’t leave it out. All the best, Kath
Hi
I applied for funding for 2019 but used the 2018 consent form..i wanna ask if this might affect my application ,if yes can i withdraw my application and reapply? I finished matric and already been accepted at university..
Hi, The form is different this year and I think you’d be best to submit the 2018 one. You won’t be able to withdraw your application. Best will be to SMS “help me” to this number at Career Help: 0722045056 Ask them if they have an email address for sending additional documents in. If they don’t, they can connect you directly to NSFAS. All the best, Kath
I tried to apply but its says my username n password is wrong what should I do
Hi, It will be easier if you whatsapp me – 061 390 4470 If you applied for NSFAS before and got a reference number then you are already in their system even if you didn’t get any funding or didn’t study. If you forgot your user name or password from before you need to reset it. OR if you applied through TVET and didn’t get a user name or password, you still need to reset it. I can help you with this via whatsapp. If this is your first application then you need to follow the rules for making a user name and password. The password must have 8 characters including UPPER CASE, lower case, numbers 123 and special characters )(*&^ Examples: nsFas18! or my$$$NOW or nEli987# Contact me if you are having trouble, Kath
Hi.I downloaded the consent form nd my mother signed it so the problem is that I have my father’s details but I don’t have his Id copy.So I don’t know if I should enter his details even if I don’t have his ID copy.
Hi, If your father lives with you then you need to provide his details and ID copy. If he doesn’t live with you then you don’t need to provide his details. Kath
hi,am mbongeni doing matric this year. so my question is can I apply for nsfas now with my school report because I don’t have matric certificate yet
Hi, You only need your ID, IDs of parents/ guardians in your house and proof of salary for parents/guardians in your house. You no longer need to send in your report. All the best, Kath
Hi, You don’t need to send your academic results. Please read the blog for what you do need: https://saili.org.za/how-to-apply-for-nsfas/ All the best, Kath
Is There A Chance That NSFAS Would Reject My Application Form now that I have received message from them saying my application form has successfully suited
Yes, there is still a chance they will reject it. They need to check your family finances and you need to be offered a tertiary place before they will sign a contract with you. All the best, Kath

hi.im nonjabulo.i’ve already applied for nsfas by 04 october 2018 so i want to know when nsfas start to communicate with me.
Hi, You should have received a reference number right away. If you did not then there is a mistake in your application and you should check online and see what is wrong. You can see your status online on the “mynsfas” tab. Kath
Hi I’m thabang what I want to know is if I have applied for nsfas in 2017 for 2018 and I was provisionally funded do I have to reapply for nsfas for 2019
Hie I’m Nompumelelo Buthelezi doing the first year in teaching at Unisa. I previously applied for nsfas last year during the application period but I haven’t received anything from nsfas what can I do? Can I make second application?
Hi, If you didn’t sign an agreement then you need to reapply. However, you already have a user profile so you need to log in with your user name and password from last year. If you forgot your password you can reset it from the website. All the best, Kath
Hi, This is very worrying. Does that mean you’ve had no funding this year? Please contact Khetha Career Help. SMS “phone me” to 0722045056 They should be able to link you directly with NSFAS. You can also check your status on the NSFAS website via the ‘mynsfas’ tab. You can make a new application using your user name and password from last year. All the best, Kath
do i need to apply for nsfas 2019 if i have already applied in 2018 and got the reference number but not funded
Hi, Yes you do need to apply again however you login with your details from last year. If you forgot your password you can reset it from the website. All the best, Kath
Hy I have a problem I was funded by NSFAS 2016 then I dropped out on July ,now I applied another course,so can I re_apply ?
Hi, If you withdrew properly so that your academic record does not show a fail, you can get NSFAS again. If you just stopped going then NSFAS will still have paid your fees and you will have failed. NSFAS will not fund you again if your record shows that you failed. All the best, Kath
Hy I was funded by NSFAS 2016 then I dropped out on July now I applied another course so can I re-apply ?
Hy.i applied nsfas 2017 for 2018 do i need to reapply for 2019
Hi, If you got funding then you don’t need to reapply. If you never signed the agreement then you do need to reapply. Use your ID, user name and password from last year. All the best, Kath
Hi I’m Mbali Dlamini,I completed my matric in 2016 with a bachelor,so I’m asking if Nsfas can sponsor me as my points are very few,and I want to know if I can study at the university or I can only study at college?Pls help Morse
Hi Mbali, NSFAS can fund you but you have to be able to get into a tertiary institute. If you have very few points then a college is your best option. If you go to your nearest college they can help you choose a course and also apply for funding. All the best, Kath
If I need it to fund me again what must I do
Hi, If you are currently funded you don’t need to do anything. NSFAS will check with your institute that you are still registered and still passing. You need to pass with an average of 50% to keep your funding. Kath
Hy I have a problem when I try log in its say it’s invalid,and if I try to change my password it’s also say it’s invalid and I already registered
Hi, Please contact Khetha Career Help. SMS “phone me” to 0722045056 They should be able to link you directly with NSFAS. All the best, Kath

Hello, will NSFAS still fund me if I change the university I’m currently studying at?
Hi, Yes they will still fund you if you are continuing with the same degree. You cannot change degrees. Make sure that your new institute knows that you are NSFAS funded and that NSFAS knows you have changed. All the best, Kath

Hi there. I have completed my first year but am considering changing my degree and moving over to a new faculty, thus implying that I would be doing first year again but in a different degree programme. Should I follow through with this, would I have to reapply to NSFAS?
Hi, Unfortunately NSFAS will not fund you for a change in degree. If you really want to change then you would need to find a bursary. There are still a few around for next year but most have closed already. If you whatsapp me on 061 390 4470 and tell me more about your plans I can see if there is any bursary still around for you. Otherwise you need to stick at what you are doing.
All the best, Kath

You can also live chat with Khetha after 9am at https://www.careerhelp.org.za/ or you can SMS “call me” 072 204 5056. All the best, Kath
Good evening Kath,
I have applied for funding through NSFAS and I just checked the status of my application, it is saying my application has been rejected and the Reject Reason: DHA Error. What does it mean?
Regards.
Hello,I did my application two months ago but I didn’t appload my application forms.So I’d like to know if there’s any way I can appload them, because when I login with my id number it declines

Good day
I have applied for NSFAS funding .just received a email from them saying application rejected and the reason DHA Error what does it mean.thank you
Hi, This is an admin error on their side. Check your status online. If it doesn’t clear up, contact Khetha live chat after 09.00 – https://www.careerhelp.org.za/ They can put you in touch with NSFAS directly. All the best, Kath
I need help, status of my nsfas says my application was unsuccessful because my parents income is over R350K but that doesn’t correspond to their payslips that I uploaded, what should I do
Hi, There is some technical error on their side. Just be patient and check again on 2 Jan. All the best, Kath
Hi Kath, What does DHA error mean on the NSFAS status?
Hi, It’s an admin error on their side. Check again tomorrow. It should clear up. All the best, Kath
Thank you so much
Kath, my NSFAS application was approved and the status is ‘successfully funded’.I received an email saying I’d only sign my NBA once I’d registered to a University. the thing is, I registered to a university different to the one I’d written on my application, so I wonder wether that will affect my funding in any way.
Hi, Your funding should be fine. Just make sure the university you registered at knows you are with NSFAS. They will let NSFAS know you have registered and then you will get the NBA. All the best, Kath
I applied for nsfas so now I want to apload my bank details in Unizulu

Hey there
If I was doing a degree and left (dropped out) during my 3rd year having withdrawn and not failed any courses, but then in the next year I apply and get accepted at another tertiary institution for a different program, will I still be funded by Nsfas? And will I be funded for the whole diploma/degree or only remaining years I had left?
Hi, Unfortunately NSFAS will only fund you for one diploma or degree and you cannot change courses. You can change institutes and continue with the same course. Sorry, Kath
Yes but what if you don’t complete the one degree. You drop out and withdraw without having finished it. Then plan on doing a new course, will you be able to apply for nsfas?
No, you can’t get funding for a second course even if you didn’t finish the first course.
i am looking for a bursary
Hi, SAILI is closed for applications. If you whatsapp me on 061 390 4470, and tell me if you are looking for a high school or tertiary bursary, I can try and assist you. Kath
hi, I applied for nsfas and the response came back to its unsuccessful rejected reason:DHA ERROR.
kindly explain what does it mean?
Hi, It is an admin error on the NSFAS side. Lots of people have had it this week. If it doesn’t clear up then you will need to phone NSFAS and follow up. It is hard to get through to them so be persistent. All the best, Kath

Hello..sir…I would like to ask…if you don’t have parents… And.. what must I fill on the consent form…or leave those spaces..??.. And where my legal guardian much fill ??
Hi, You need to provide the death certificates of your parents. You use the orphan consent form and a social worker completes it for you. Here is a link to the file – file:///C:/Users/Katherine/Downloads/NSFAS%20Declaration%20Form.pdf All the best, Kath
Good day,

Beautiful morning!
I’m having problems with uploading supporting documents. I click upload documents, system loads and then shows no sign that documents have been uploaded. Then I click submit application, system tells me to upload supporting documents. How can I upload documents successfully?
Hi, You might need to try with a different browser – try in Chrome, or if you are in Chrome, try in Internet Explorer. All the best, Kath
My parents have refused to pay for my studies and I am currently in University. What do I need to attach that states that they do not want to pay for my tertiary?
Hi, Parents are responsible for fees whether they want to be or not. As far as I’m aware, NSFAS don’t consider that you can be independent from your parents’ income. If you have no parents, you don’t know where your parents are or you’ve been removed from our parents by child welfare, then a social worker can complete your parent consent form. If I find out something else, I’ll let you know. All the best, Kath
Hi, I recently checked the status of my nsfas application and it said that I was rejected because of a DHA error? What exactly is a DHA error and what is the way forward?

Hi Lindokuhle, You should de-register before you get a debt. This year you should apply for NSFAS and apply to study at the same time. May be next year you will get things to line up properly. All the best, Kath

Hi Kath.
Do I have to re- apply for nsfas if I was funded in 2019 for a higher certificate in education and I want to start a degree next year 2021. Will nsfas fund me or do I have to re- apply
Hi, Unfortunately not. NSFAS will only fund one degree, even if you don’t finish. There are other education bursaries you could apply for though. http://www.zabursaries.co.za/education-bursaries-south-africa/ All the best, Kath
Hi Kath
Do I have to re-apply if I was funded by nsfas in 2019 for higher certificate in education. This year 2020 I did not study due to lack of space to continue with my degree. Next year 2021 I will be studying a degree qualification, my question is do I have to re-apply for nsfas or I will be funded since I was funded in 2019
Hi, I’m not entirely sure of this one but I think you should reapply using your profile that you created for the 2019 funding. All the best, Kath
good day kat
my sister was doing a higher certificate in 2018 but she failed some of her modules. she did not qualify to be admitted to mainstream studies according to the prerequisites of the university. she was funded and now she wants to study with unisa, does she have to reapply , appeal or she wont be funded? she failed less than 50% modules.
Hi, UNISA is a good option because they offer bridging courses and you can get NSFAS funding for them. I think she needs to reapply but use her previous profile details. All the best, Kath
Good day
I have applied for nsfas and they sent me an email to send some documents, I don’t see an option to submit proof of income file, please help me
Hi, When you login into your profile you should see the option to upload outstanding documents. If you can’t see it then I think you can email the documents to them. Kath
Hey, I’d like to know, my parents are unemployed, so how do I apply without payslips??
Hi Lungili, You won’t need to provide payslips as part of the application process, just your parent’s IDs and your ID. If NSFAS can’t trace your parents’ employment status from the ID number then they will request additional documents from you. All the best, Kath
When I was applying for nsfas only the copy of my ID was required so I couldn’t upload other documents now I am worried.ive done many research on how to fix it e.g iwas told to log in and I’ll see an option to upload these documents but there is no option to upload. can you please help me tell me how to upload.
Hi, NSFAS have simplified the process this year. You only need your ID, and sometimes parent ID. If they want extra documents they will email you or you will see it on your online status. All the best, Kath
