NSFAS Overview

It was decided to create the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). The government would gradually implement “totally financed free higher education and training for poor and working-class South African students,” according to former president Jacob Zuma’s announcement on December 16, 2017.

The Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) Bursaries Scheme would be created as the monies were phased in over a five-year period.

The goal of NSFAS, a South African bursary program, is to help students from low-income and working-class households pay for their university and TVET educations.

The Programme

Through DHET, students are invited to submit applications for NSFAS financing for the academic year.

Those with educational disadvantages who desire to enroll in or are already enrolled in public universities or TVET colleges may submit money. The family from which the student hails must make no more than R350 000 annually.

All interested students should check the NSFAS website and social media accounts for application opening and closing dates. During the period, all NSFAS applications must be filed online. Late submissions not permitted.
