when exactly the award list will be out it almost month end but still nothing provided . I wonder why NSFAF system this year it is too slow is it because of this new online system? I prefer the old system.
Yes Rebbeca, flowing the implementation of the new system, NSFAF received thousands of applications in just a few days, and it overwhelmed the system. Much work is being done to process the applications.
When is the due date of reward?
And when exactly the list will be out?
It might be possible of not getting an award letter even though I completed that form that had to do with my students number and institutions wer am studying at?
please what do i do..the password that i got is not going through at all. do i need to visit your office for the new one or what really..?? am very confused, i even heard the deadline for awarding is the 31st of may which is too close

I’m a student at CTPD. And i’m a bit confused, i received an email from NSFAF help desk that saying my application is rejected because im doing level 3, while NSFAF only funds from NOF L5 upwards, is that true?
If i am 3rd year student ,do i need to fill the award letter again?Another question is normal our details that say i am beneficial for nsfaf it appearing at my examination timetable , but this year is not showing ?what should i do ?
still i did not receive my award letter. does it mean that my application is not successful or are still in the process to award us?
Festus, conclusions cannot be drawn at this point. If you applied early, and have still not received your award, then its likely you were unsuccessful. However, we recommend cross checking with the list upon release.
i am kind confused……actually i am a second year at UNAM and i heard that there will be no more refunds is this true? and if it is not true when exactly are you planning to dish out refunds especially for second year students?
This is yet to be confirmed and currently remains a “rumor” .
Lazarus Petrus asked that , when exactly are you going to give the students their allowances for second year loan holder? I am curious ,because have the same Question.
was that the final list of the successful candidates or is there still more names to come out? please reply asap my name is not on this list but i have applied and uploaded all my documents. i have 26 points in 5 subjects and an A* symbol in English.

Hello I would like to enquire on the payments for 2016 both tuition and non tuition as some of us still waiting upto today.
Hi, I was awarded a loan last year and this year I changed the course via special consideration form, Wat should I do next year to ensure that my contract is activated?
Good day NSFAF team.
I have received a preliminary award letter in February this year. This means I’m awarded, right?
I am SADC student, studying in South Africa:
1. When can we expect payment?
2. Do we need to contact the NSFAF office for refund letters? or do we recieve them automatically after payment has been made? Since we need the remaining fees to pay for accommodation.
I am a first time loan holder.
Kindly advise
Thank you.
I applied through mature age but till now I didn’t get any response from NSFAF, how far are you with mature application and one thing I was working but not working anymore, what should I do so that I can get non-tuition fees?
Klaudia, if you stated in your application to be a worker, then you will not be given the non-tuition fees. This can be corrected by logging into the application portal and making the necessary corrections. Applications are to be completely processed by 30th June
i was awarded last year, but until now nothing is paid either tuition or non tuition fee for last year and i am hearing they are busy processing 2017 tuition and non tuition fee what is happening? what about us who are not yet paid anything from last year?are we still going to be paid last year tuition? we are worried. every time we call Mr Joseph that deals with Unam students we told to wait how log are we going to wait?…please we need clarity on this.
Pietres, the NSFAF is working on settling all previous award winners. Kindly wait a while.

Yes Maria, it is possible, NSFAF conducts extensive examination after the first approval stage.
Good day
Why is NSFAF keeping us in the dark. It has been long now but it keeps telling us that we will be paid soon. How soon is soon? May we atleast get a date when the last people are expected to be paid.
The reason why many of us applied for loans is because our parents/guardians are not really able to fund us from their own pockets. It is really not easy. Majority of the applicants are less fortunate or are orphans. We just want to get good education and feel comfortable at our institutions. But how if some of us walk to school and can hardly concentrate because we are exhausted? We do not even have books or laptops to acces academic information so we have to go to Libraries or sometimes even miss out on important academic information. I do not want to say a lot….
All i am asking for is for our tuition and non-tuition fees will be paid. Please help me and the rest we really need it. I speak for myself and on behalf of everyone. Or can we atleast get feedback as to how many students are yet to be paid.
Thanks in advance
Hello, its unfortunate the NSFAF cannot specify a date at this time. However, much work is being done to settle all students.
Hi, I am not able to login into my NSFAF portal. I requested for a new password,but I have not received anything.
