Introduction
NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme) is responsible for managing financial assistance to eligible students in South Africa. When applying for funding, applicants might come across the term ‘Application in Progress.’ In this article, we will explore what this status means and what steps applicants can take.
Understanding Application in Progress
When your NSFAS application is marked as ‘Application in Progress,’ it indicates that your application is currently being reviewed and evaluated by the NSFAS team. This means that your application is still under consideration and has not been finalized.
What to Do Next
If your application is in progress, the best course of action is to wait patiently. NSFAS processes a large number of applications, so it may take some time for them to assess all submissions thoroughly. However, you can log in to your NSFAS account regularly to check for any updates or additional requirements.
Case Studies
Many students have shared their experiences of seeing ‘Application in Progress’ on their NSFAS accounts. For example, Sipho applied for financial aid and saw this status for several weeks before receiving confirmation of approval. Despite the initial uncertainty, Sipho’s perseverance paid off, and he was able to secure funding for his studies.
Statistics
According to NSFAS, the majority of applications that are in progress eventually get approved for funding. The key is to ensure that all required documentation is submitted and to provide accurate information during the application process.
Conclusion
‘Application in Progress’ on your NSFAS account might seem like a daunting status, but it simply means that your application is still being considered. By staying patient and monitoring your account for updates, you can increase your chances of securing financial aid for your studies.
