Are you one of the students who have registered for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme(NSFAS) but now want to cancel? Well, there can be various reasons behind this, including getting a better scholarship or funding offer. In any case, cancelling your NSFAS registration is simple and straightforward. In this article, we will take you through steps to follow to cancel your NSFAS registration.
Step 1: Log onto the NSFAS portal
The first step is to visit the official NSFAS website and log into your account using your username and password. If you do not have an account, then you cannot cancel the registration. So, if you do not have an account yet, you need to create one before proceeding with the cancellation process.
Step 2: Go to the 'my applications' section
Once logged in, you will be redirected to your dashboard. From there, click on the 'My Application' tab, which will take you to the page where all your current applications reside.
Step 3: Withdrawal option
Now, you need to find the application that you want to cancel and click on the 'Withdraw Application' option. It will take you to the cancellation page, where you need to fill out a form specifying the reason for cancellation. In this form, you also need to provide all necessary information, including personal information and academic information.
Step 4: Submitting the application
After filling out the form, submit it. Once you submit, a notification will be sent to your email that your application has been cancelled successfully. You are done with the cancellation process.
Things to Consider
Before proceeding with the cancellation, make sure you have understood the implications of your decision. You will lose all funding that you were granted, and you will need to secure an alternate funding source. If you have taken a loan from NSFAS, ensure that you have paid it before initiating the cancellation process.
In conclusion
Cancelling your NSFAS registration should not be a complicated process. Follow these simple steps, and withdraw your application quickly. Always remember to think through your decision carefully before proceeding with the cancellation process.
