Just A few weeks before the end of the first academic term at higher learning institutions, tens of thousands of students are still unsure whether they will be granted funding to study. Scores of those who received confirmation of funding for the 2019 academic year, have still not received meal allowances.
This year, the NSFAS recorded the highest number of appeals - sitting at 109 000 by December and just over 29 000 by March 8 - the final deadline for appeals. A source said: “Some applications are not uploaded by NSFAS head office even though they are sent by the institutions. And in some cases where the updated information is submitted, the internal system de-registers the student and reverts back to the old information on the basis of which the application was initially rejected.”
Some students complained that they had been told by the NSFAS that their applications had been rejected on the basis that their parents’ incomes were higher than the threshold, even though they were State grant beneficiaries.
