Sign in to myNSFAS, open the rejected application and read the stated reason before starting an appeal. NSFAS’s official tracking guide directs an applicant to submit the formal appeal with supporting documents through the portal. The available appeal option, deadline and evidence depend on the decision, so use the live application record rather than a generic deadline copied from another cycle.
