How Do You Appeal To NSFAS?
In order to appeal to NSFAS for your application to be reviewed and possibly get approved to be able to get funding, you’ll need to write an NSFAS appeal motivational letter.
It is in your appeal letter that NSFAS will review the reasons and claims you make and consider you for the funding.
However, there are rules and guidelines to writing an NSFAS appeal letter and you must abide by all the rules before your appeal can be successful.
We, therefore, recommend that you read How To Write NSFAS Appeal Motivational Letter 2023 for detailed guidelines for writing a successful appeal to NSFAS.

What Documents Do You Need For NSFAS Appeal?
When NSFAS rejects your application, they’ll give you reasons why your application can not be approved for funding.
For example, NSFAS will inform you if you didn’t upload some of the required supporting documents. The reason will show “missen supporting documents”.
In such a case, you’ll have to upload all the referred missing supporting documents when appealing to NSFAS.
Again, if your application was unsuccessful because of not meeting the household income per annum benchmark, you’ll need to attach your salary payslip or your parents/guardian salary’s pay slip of not more than at least the past three months to back your claims in the letter.
You should read What Documents Do You Need For NSFAS Appeal 2023? for all the other documents that you may need for your NSFAS appeal,
Can NSFAS Reject Your Appeal For Funding?
It is possible that NSFAS will reject your appeal after reviewing your letter and considering the reasons you raise and also the supporting documents you added to be not enough to get you the funding.
Therefore, to prevent your appeal from getting rejected again, you should write a good appeal letter to call empathy on your behalf and upload all the necessary supporting documents to make your appeal stronger.
Can I Appeal Twice To NSFAS?
You can appeal again if your previous appeal was rejected. However, you can only do so before the submission of appeals is closed.

I was rejected but I got failed auto promotion and I was excepted by my institution. I then registered not knowing I was rejected by nasfas and I did pass 50% of my modules as I got 5 out of 9. How should I appeal.
NSAS will open the appeals for students to submit appeals. You will then write your appeal letter and state the reason NSFAS rejected your registration and submit your letter.
It is open and due to close on 3 march. My rejection reason is NOT MEETING ACCADEMIC ELEGIBILITY CRETERIA so is it fine if I click reason I PASSED then submit my progress report which also includes 2023 registered modules
Yes, you can do that.
My academic year 2022 results were very poor and I assume I have been rejected for 2023, if track status only 2022 and previous years show,I don’t get an option to select 2023,what should I do
Without knowing your NSFAS funding status for 2023, it will be very difficult to know what to do. You should go to the finance/bursary office of your institution to inquire whether you’re listed as NSFAS-funded students for 2023.
it is possible to be funded by nsfas after competing 1st year in tvet college ,without 2022 nsfas reference and outstanding fees balance due to unsucessful 2022 nsfas application?
If your 2022 NSFAS application was unsuccessful. You’ll need to apply again when applications are open before you can be funded. And yes, continuing students who are not currently funded but need the funding will have to apply for approval to get the NSFAS funding.
Again, it doesn’t matter if you have outstanding fees or not. Just apply and pray you get approved for the funding.
Hi. I have appealed on the nsfas portal. My status has been saying that my appeal is closed for over a month now. What does that mean?
If your appeal is closed, it means NSFAS did not consider your appeal and has not approved you for funding.
Hi i got an sms that says i must submit the ITA form from sars then i tried to upload it but even today when i check the status it says i must upload again. How long it takes to accept the documents and to change the status after uploading the document?
If the website is working correctly, you should be able to upload all required documents at a go. Uploading documents must go through correctly without any hiccups if the site is working correctly. This means, you don’t need to upload it multiple times but once.
Try to change the browser you’re using and upload them again.
Hello I have a problem here I have been trying to track my status for sometime now but I couldn’t it allowed me today In the morning but there was no appeal button to appeal because it says I’m unsuccessful funded I have exceeded N+ but I did state that I’m a continuing student for another 3years now I’m stuck I don’t know what to say or to do please help me escape this problem I’m facing
The situation here is that, with the N+ rules, NSFAS counts from the first year you registered into an institution and not from when you started getting funding. So, it doesn’t matter where you change institution or course, NSFAS N+rule will still affect you if you’re continuing students and have exceeded the eligible funding years.
So when will we start getting our appeal statuses since the appeals closes today?
You should keep checking your status.
Since the system is very crowded right now…can I submit my appeal through email.?
NSFAS is not accepting emails for the 2022 appeals.
I am still waiting for my supplementary results how do i appeal
It depends on your reason of appeal. So, what is your appeal reason?
Hy i apealed for NSFAS 2 weeks ago and now my status has changed to Appeal closed! Is there any some sort of explanation on that part?
The appeal is not closed. However, it’s possible to see that status if you’re affected by the N+ Exceeded enrollment
I applied for NSFAS last year imediately as the applications were open however I am unable to access myNSFAS portal because I no longer have access to the email address that I applied with and the portal is not allowing to change the email to the one I have access to now. I have been told that I cannot register at the University of Fort Hare because I do not appear on the list of NSFAS funded students kindly assist me with access to myNSFAS and with an appeal application.
You can only reset your password and email if the website is working. As you said, we can give you guide to try. Check from here How Do I Change MyNSFAS Account Email Successfully
What is N+2 rule and how do I appeal that rejection?
N+2 rule is when you need extra 2 years of funding to complete your qualification. You can appeal through your MyNSFAS Account.
Hey
When and how can returning students appeal or should they wait ro recieve the unsuccessful status directly from NSFAS or institution’s financial aid
You will have to see your funding status first. You can only appeal if your status shows unsuccessful.
I was able to seey status but there was no appeal button whatsoever.
Now I don’t know which route to take cause we were advised to appeal on the portal.
