      • Please NSFAF must send our awards or rejection letters. We want to know where we stand, the exams are approaching. And I don,t understand how some people are getting multiple award letters and I am getting none. Please they should check their system and consider us too, we are living in fear as in we might be forced to drop out of schools.

  1. Hello.
    Is there a possibility of getting funded by NSFAF this year if I was at NIMT ( Namibia Institute of Mining and technology) the previous year and I only did my Level 1 of apprenticeship, I am asking this because NIMT students do not get the non-tuition fees which I believe is the loan, in addition, the tuition fee is paid directly to the school account through NTA (Namibia Training Authority).
    I look forward to a prompt response.

    Reply
    • Angula, applicants who have already benefited from the NSFAF loan at a particular level cannot receive additional loans while in that same level. And if you have upgraded to a new level, you will have to reapply. Secondly, since it is not appearing, you will have to submit proof of your award which will be received via email, while pending the full list to be released.

On my side when I registered at UNAM I found my place for full-time was occupied already by another student, because I registered later after the due date. Does NSFAF award distance students or not ? For that I received a email on 7 March 2017 that my application is on final stage I must indicate my Stundent number, name of institution where I’m studying and if I benefited from NSFAF or not or if I’m working or not, yes I provided the required details, but until now I didn’t receive award letter.

  56. 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.

        Just to understand better, academic year 2018 starts in January 2018 (and your application as you replied above commences in the first quarter of 2018). I’m trying to make sense out of this, should students not be sure of their status regarding funding prior to academic year?
        I’m sure you meant to write “last quarter of 2017”?

  131. Is NSFAF aware that UNAM has set a due date for tuition fees to be paid? The due date is June 30th 2017 and UNAM has stated that we will be denied access to 2nd semester modules and other campus services if tuition fees are not paid. How long will we have to be patient until tuition and accomodation fees for 2nd year students are paid? Nsfaf always says ‘be patient’ but it seems nothing is being done.

      So before the 30th of June if they did not reply still or if they did not give any award letter, what will be my next step or what should I do? And yes I did meet the requirements I just don’t understand how some of my classmates got their award letters long ago while I did not receive any… and when they write emails they get response as soon as possible but for me i never got any.. and about requirements, I am in same class and same course with the fellows that are already awarded and if it’s marks wise I still have more marks or grades…

      Reply
  135. Please NSFAF, I have lost the hope now, no award letter no sms, no email… I’m really stressed I cannot afford to pay the tuition fee, the due date is near but I did not even get the award letter but my application reached the final stage..when is the list will be released?

  216. Although the institution is part of the delay but we informed NSFAF about the situation which some of the students are facing at Rundu campus due 2014 payment which was not settled.Thus Mr Simasiku , Nayuni and David Nathige were told about it and up to now no feedback is given and to us students it is worring situation because we are owing Unam and to make the matter worse this is our final year.

  217. Today is Thursday already , are you still sticking to the 30th June which is tomorrow ? And can one find his or her name in the list you are yet to issue without an award letter? Or is the date changed ?
    What is the status of my application form ? Pls nsfaf I just want to know where I’m standing because this preliminary award is somehow doubtful.

You must also attach any documents where necessary. If you have already signed the terms and agreement form, then there is no need to do that again.

  265. Dear NSFAF team
    I am a third year student and a loan holder but i am very much disappointed with NSFAF. I received my refund last friday but I only get $16500 insteadd of 21600. That happens again 2016, I only get 17415 instead of 21600. My question is why am i not getting the same amount like everybody. Its official that every student is now receiving 21600. 2016 nsfaf owes me $4185 and this year nsfaf owes me $5100 which will give the total of $9285. This is not fair nor right. Where will that money go? Or maybe we need to ask the Minister to tell us whether only some students who are getting 21600. I am always calling the nsfaf but they never pick up their phone. I am waiting for a better answer. Thank you

  298. hi.why is it that the nsfaf team is not specific on who should upload the terms and conditions because i received that message twice while i already uploaded,even though it also says ignore if you already submitted, its hard to settle because it brings uncertainty on whether my documents were well received. and this delay of making the payments really sucks, the country is broke, parents are broke and we are expected to make it to school everyday and pay rents and transport, we cant borrow quick loans because we are not certain of when nsfaf will pay.our lives are miserable as students.please give me a reply that will give me hope and not encourage me to drope out and go look for a job and come back when i can pay for my self. and im hoping that all students will be paid before december and that no one has to reach next year without their payments. and on an article that i read, someone from nsfaf said that its not nsfaf fault that some payments are delayed but rather the institutions,can you explain that if you can so that i know who to confront on this matter?

    Reply
    • Susan, NSFAF is still awarding students, and aims at settling all students. The delays are on the part of the institutions because , before funds are released, the institutions must submit and sign documents which approve the settlement. A delay on the part of the institution on this leads to a delay in funding.

Since 12 June all I am been told is just go back and wait for your award letter, nowadays the operators are even just dropping the fone on my ears and if I attempt to go to the office it is just the same story over and over again! Seriously only 2 month left to exam again since January please consider everyone here it is so unfair how you handle your process! Some students are even given their refunds already why don’t you concentrate on settling all the school fees first,while some of us are just still in the dark! All I am being told is your application is approved at the last stage just go and wait your letter but when exactly?? please do something…

    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
