WHAT IS THE NSFAS CONSENT FORM?
The NSFAS Consent Form gives NSFAS permission to verify information needed to assess an applicant’s eligibility for student funding. This can include information relating to the applicant’s household and financial circumstances.
Consent is important because NSFAS needs to verify information supplied during the application process before determining whether an applicant meets the applicable funding requirements.
For a detailed explanation of the SARS Consent Form, including what it is used for and how to complete it, see our SARS Consent Form for NSFAS guide.
WHO MUST COMPLETE THE NSFAS CONSENT FORM?
The applicant and relevant household members may be required to provide consent for NSFAS to verify the information needed to assess the application. Applicants should follow the current instructions provided by NSFAS when completing the form.
WHY IS THE NSFAS CONSENT FORM IMPORTANT?
The consent allows NSFAS to carry out the relevant verification checks required during the application process. If required consent or supporting information is missing, the application may not be fully assessed.
