The appeal reason is essentially what caused your application to be declined and the reason/s may vary from one applicant to another. When appealing, you are required to upload clear, valid and certified copies of the relevant, supporting document(s), which needs to be not older than three months.

An affidavit will not be considered as a supporting document and applications without supporting documents will not be processed. Any outstanding documentation must be submitted within 14 days; if not, the appeal application will be automatically closed by NSFAS.

Below are the explanations of the different appeal reasons and their supporting documents.
