- Failure to meet academic criteria where prior academic performance has been satisfactory (provide supporting information and documentation that provides details of the reasons that affected performance);
- Failure to meet academic criteria due to medical condition (s) or death of an immediate family member (provide supporting information and documentation);
- Student had a gap year in NSFAS funding or failed to register previously and could not reapply for funding;
- More than one student from the same household concurrently enrolled at a university/TVET college; and
- Applying for an approved post graduate qualification (see section F on the appeal form for list).
Additionally, To increase the chances of a successful appeal, it is important for students to provide as much supporting evidence as possible, and to ensure that their application is complete and accurate. It is also recommended that students seek the advice of a qualified financial aid advisor or student support services, who can provide guidance and assistance throughout the process.
