Will the NRF allow changes of the award from FCS to PCS or vice versa?
Will the NRF allow changes of the award from FCS to PCS or vice versa?
Yes, subject to availability of funding, if a student was awarded PCS but is eligible for FCS, the student can submit proof of academic merit (>75% for the previous degree) as well as a formal request for reconsideration to the NRF via the institutional research office. A change from PCS to FCS due to student being financially needy will be considered only if the student had indicated this in their original application and proof of NSFAS/ISFAP was attached. In addition, the NRF may consider a conversion from PCS to FCS in instances where a student is upgrading from masters to doctoral degree or upgrading from extension support masters to doctoral degree or has compelling reasons for the conversion e.g., individual contributing to household income becomes unemployed or deceased and a new means test has been undertaken.
