NSFAS Bursary

• The NSFAS bursaries are available but they are not guaranteed – even to students who are deemed financially needy through the Means Test.
• Should a student choose not to apply for a bursary, such a student will be liable for full payment of his/her studies.
• Returning students who were funded by NSFAS in the previous year need not re-apply for NSFAS, as the NSFAS will automatically continue to fund if you have made academic progress to the next level of their program.
• The lists of provisionally funded students are sent regularly to college by NSFAS to allow students to be advanced with allowances therefore attendance and retention is maintained.
• It is encouraged that students at all times must attend their classes as travel and accommodation allowance to a beneficiary who fails to meet the minimum 80% class attendance requirement for a particular month in accordance with the DHET TVET Students Attendance and Punctuality Policy 2013 will not be disbursed.
• The NSFAS 2018 Rules and Guidelines administration document is available at the Student Support Services Office and SRC office.
