Financial Aid
The NSFAS Act enables any student to apply for a bursary from NSFAS but allows the board to impose conditions, generally, or in respect of a particular loan or bursary. Such conditions include the use of the means test and the loan conversion of up to 40 percent of any loan as an incentive for academic success.
It provides for payment by NSFAS of the amount of the loan or bursary “to the designated higher education institution”, rather than to the applicant. It also allows NSFAS to enter into what is in effect an agency agreement with higher education institutions (HEIs) or further education and training (FET) colleges.

Otagouni.com is here to bring you the latest information regarding the NSFAS application process.

NSFAS requested information from all institutions on students who would still like an opportunity to submit late applications for only undergraduate students for funding in 2022.  This information is due by 5 Sep 2022. The Financial Aid Office would, therefore, like to obtain your information, which will be provided to NSFAS.
