ANS.
The ‘Payments’ status means that the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) will be paying your allowances through the NSFAS wallet system or your institution.
What to Do?
the NSFAS does not have a timeframe when it comes to when their application status will change and how long it takes for applications to be processed. All you have to do is to exercise patience and keep checking back on your status.
The application status may be monitored via the student’s myNSFAS account.
