What Does ‘Validation’ Mean in My NSFAS Application Process?

If you’ve submitted your NSFAS application, you should regularly check your application status by logging into myNSFAS to see the current stage of your application.

When your NSFAS application status shows “Validation,” it means that NSFAS is conducting third-party checks with SASSA and the Department of Home Affairs. This process verifies the information you submitted, including your household income, to determine if you qualify for NSFAS funding.
