I will provide you with step-by-step guidance to ensure that you carry out the cancellation process smoothly and correctly.

Cancelling your NSFAS registration involves the act of withdrawing your application from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) company. This suggests that you are no longer entitled to receive money from the company to support your education.

If you want to cancel your NSFAS registration, you can follow the method provided in the article. Let me guide you through the cancellation process.

Go To The Website

First, visit the official website of NSFAS. The website has a user-friendly interface; hence you would easily navigate through it.

Sign in To Your Account

After visiting the website, you will see an option in the top right corner, “myNSFAS.” Click it, and you will be taken to a new page. Enter your ID number and password.

Click On the “Application” Tab

Once you have logged in, you will see the NSFAS dashboard. Scroll to the bottom and click on the “View Application” tab. This will lead you to all the applications you have and the progress level of your application. Select “Track Application.”

“Cancel Application” Option

Lastly, press “cancel Application,” and your application will be cancelled.

Provide Reason Behind This Step

After you have taken this step, they will ask you for a reason as to why you want to cancel your application. Therefore provide whatever reason you might have.

Or you can select from the provided options such as “You have another Bursary now,” “Family will be able to afford my studies,” “Provided incomplete information,” or “You won’t be studying next year.” If your reason does not match any of these options, you can select “other.”

Upload Documents

After you have provided the reason, they will ask you to upload a certified copy of your ID in order to verify your cancellation. And then tap on “cancel.” And there you have it; your registration is cancelled.

Wait For Confirmation Message

After cancellation, you will be notified by the agency either through your email or cell phone number. After the cancellation of your registration, you will no longer be eligible to receive funds, and all of the information related to your application will be removed from NSFAS. Hence be very careful when deciding to act upon this idea.

There might be various reasons you are trying to deregister from NSFAS; the reason is up to you, but if you are looking for information regarding how to deregister from NSFAS, I will guide you step by step.

Fill Out The Cancellation Form

You will be required to fill out the cancellation form, you can download the form either from the website or you can get it from your institution’s office. The cancellation form is a type of formal request to annul your registration with the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

Pay Back The Funds

You must pay back the NSFAS funds if your institution has already received the payment for the academic year. This is because NSFAS only aids you for educational purposes, not for any other motives. Hence you should try to cancel your registration before NSFAS provides you with the funds so as to avoid any legal consequences.

Inform Your Academy

After carrying out this procedure, you must notify your institution so that your records are up to date and so that you do not face any allegations from NSFAS.

Things To Consider

• As a consequence of de-registering from NSFAS, you won’t be able to receive financial assistance from the company.
