Below are two ready-to-send email templates you can use to ask NSFAS to cancel / de-register your record because you are no longer studying. Fill in the bracketed fields with your details and attach a copy of your ID and any proof of withdrawal/deregistration from your institution (if you have it).

Suggested subject:
Request to Cancel NSFAS Record / De-registration — [Your Full Name, ID number]

Formal template
Dear NSFAS team,

I am writing to request that my NSFAS record be cancelled / that I be de-registered from NSFAS because I am no longer studying.

My details:
- Full name: [Your full name]
- South African ID number: [ID number]
- NSFAS reference number / application number (if known): [reference number]
- Student number (if applicable): [student number]
- Institution last attended: [institution name]
- Date I stopped studying / withdrew: [date]

Reason: I have ceased my studies and am not currently enrolled at any institution. I therefore request that my NSFAS record be closed to avoid any holds or further action on my profile.

Please confirm receipt of this request and provide written confirmation once my record has been cancelled. If you require additional documents or information, let me know and I will provide them as soon as possible.

Attached: copy of my ID; [proof of withdrawal/deregistration — if available].

Contact details:
Phone: [your phone number]
Email: [your email address]

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,
[Your full name]

- Also hand the documents to your institution’s Financial Aid office (they can often help with NSFAS matters).
