What Does ‘Awaiting Registration’ Mean on My NSFAS Application?

If you’ve submitted your NSFAS application, you should regularly check your application status by logging into myNSFAS. This will inform you about the current stage of your application.

When your NSFAS application status shows “Awaiting Registration,” it means that NSFAS is receiving data from your institution to enable them to create a bursary agreement. This is another stage where students may find themselves for a while, as NSFAS needs to wait for information from your chosen institution.
