Can Nsfas Fund Me If I Failed

Can Nsfas Fund Me If I Failed My Modules

If you are planning to enrol in a public TVET college or university, or if you are already studying at any public institution in South Africa, you may be eligible to apply for the NSFAS bursary. However, you might be wondering whether NSFAS will continue to fund your studies if you fail your exams.

The answer is yes, you will continue receiving funds because the NSFAS policy agreement stipulates that to continue receiving financial aid during their study period, a student must pass at least 50% of the modules that make up their programme as well as adhere to the academic standards of their institution.

The N+1 rule must be kept in mind, though. The N is the number of years you are qualified for, and the number (+1) denotes the number of years NSFAS will continue to finance you if you fail. The criteria are based on the length of time the student has been enrolled in tertiary coursework at any public university in South Africa. In this article, we explore whether NSFAS will fund students who have failed and what the requirements are for maintaining financial aid.

Will NSFAS Fund Me If I Fail One Module

Yes, as long as you maintain the required academic performance of passing 50% of your modules, NSFAS will continue to finance you even if you fail one module. Additionally, failing one module won’t prevent you from receiving a 50% pass on all of your courses.

Will NSFAS Fund Me If I Fail Two Modules

Yes, NSFAS will continue to finance you if you fail two courses but only when you still fit in the 50 per cent academic performance pass. NSFAS will discontinue financing you if your two modules prohibit you from receiving a 50% passing grade on your modules.

Will NSFAS Fund Me If I Fail Three Modules

NSFAS will keep funding you if you fail three modules as long as you still pass the 50% academic performance of your modules. However, if your three failed modules prevent you from getting a 50% pass on your modules, then NSFAS will automatically stop funding your qualification.
