What Is NSFAS?
NSFAS is a government entity under the Department of Higher Education and Training which provides financial support to disadvantaged students who wish to further their studies at public universities or TVET colleges.
NSFAS has a new and improved system that allows each applicant to be considered with great care and enormous attention is given to evaluating every application.

Conditions of Bursary:
“Continuing students who are funded by NSFAS this year will be contacted by NSFAS to sign their agreements online if they have not done so already. They are not required to reapply as funding will automatically continue in 2022 if they meet the progression rule of 50% pass.
Bursary Inclusion:
The NSFAS scheme has successfully paid more than R1.2 billion to institutions and students, and they will continue to pay more.
“We have also sent remittances to every institution to ensure money is allocated to students accordingly without delays. I am happy that this has been welcomed by vice-chancellors, college principals, and Student Representative Council (SRC) positive progress towards assisting the students.”
More NSFAS officials will be deployed to institutions this week to support the application process and to continue assisting the students.
Each applicant should have a working contact number that NSFAS will use to communicate throughout the process of evaluation and funding decisions.
Should this number change, it must be updated online immediately or via the Toll-Free number 08000 67327.
A consent form is compulsory for every applicant. Without this, NSFAS may not verify income as declared by the applicant and thus may not conclude the funding decision.
