Ikhala TVET College Nsfas Application

Ikhala TVET College Nsfas is a financial aid scheme funded by the Department of Higher Education and Training to support students who do not have the financial means to fund their studies and cannot access bank funding, study loans or bursaries.

NSFAS financial support previously was in the form of loans and still needs to be paid back when you find employment after completion of your studies. If you passed all your subjects, 40% of the NSFAS funding for that particular year/semester was converted into a bursary. This means you will only pay back 60% of the loan when you start working.

Nsfas Open Date

The Nsfas Online Application Opens on 1 September and closes on November 302022.
