NSFAS communicated the delay through its social media platforms, saying that applicants will be informed about 2022 application dates in due course.
Reminder that Application dates for the 2022 academic year have not been announced. We advise prospective applicants to monitor our website and social media pages for official updates regarding the opening of applications.
The delay for NSFAS funding applications for the 2022 academic year is over a month late compared to 2021 funding applications.
Applications for the 2021 academic year opened on 18 August 2020 and remained open for a period of two weeks as they closed again on 3 September 2020.
A delay in the announcement of application dates for 2022 funding might contribute to the anxiety of students during their final exams, as NSFAS is usually their hope for funding to further their studies.
This will also interfere with the holiday breaks, where students are allowed some time out from their academic responsibilities before the start of the new year.
Applicants hoping for 2022 funding are advised to stay alert for new developments that will be communicated through the NSFAS website and its social media platforms.
