Reasons to Cancel an NSFAS Application

There are various reasons why someone might need to cancel their NSFAS application. Let’s explore two common scenarios:

1. Securing Funding from Alternative Sources:
   • Example: Imagine you’ve applied for NSFAS funding but later receive a scholarship from a private organization or secure a loan from a bank. In such cases, it’s wise to inform NSFAS and cancel your application to free up funds for students who still need assistance.
