If your NSFAS status is marked as “provisionally funded,” it generally means that your application was initially approved based on the information provided. However, because you did not secure a place at any university, the funding was not finalised. When you apply next year, you will likely need to submit a new application for NSFAS funding. It’s important to ensure all your documents are up-to-date and accurate for your new application. Your previous provisional status should not negatively impact your eligibility for future applications, provided you meet all the necessary criteria.
