The year you took a gap year does not affect your NSFAS funding eligibility directly. NSFAS focuses on the total number of years funded and your academic progress. Typically, NSFAS funds a three-year undergraduate programme for one extra year due to academic difficulties, up to a total of five years for a longer course like engineering. Your gap year isn’t counted as a ‘funded’ year, but it might affect the total time considered for completion if it impacts your academic plan.
If your academic performance was satisfactory and you meet the criteria (such as passing a certain percentage of your modules), NSFAS should continue funding. It’s best to double-check by logging into your NSFAS account or contacting NSFAS directly for clarity on their conditions in your specific situation.
For a more detailed review of your NSFAS situation or if you need further assistance, email in**@*******rg.za.
Hi Owami, NSFAS will not count the gap year you took as no payments were made to the institution.
If your marks are satisfactory this should not affect your funding eligibility.
