A government programme that offers student bursaries is called the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). The Department of Higher Education and Training is in charge of it and provides funding for it.

 

NSFAS will cover more than just your tuition if you are eligible and meet the standards. In South Africa’s public universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges, NSFAS awards bursaries to qualified students.

 

In 2023, a large number of South Africans will qualify for NSFAS payments, notably those beginning their studies at TVET institutes and universities or going back to work while earning their first undergraduate degree. One of the extra criteria taken into consideration is the income of the student’s family, which cannot exceed R350 000 annually.

As a student, you can receive payment directly using NSFAS Wallet, or your school may do so.
