Nsfas Disability Form 2025-2026

Nsfas Disability Form 2025-2026; NSFAS Disability Allowance 2025

All South African students who are currently studying at public Universities and public Tvet Colleges and those who are yet to apply are all entitled to receive bursaries from Nsfas in the year 2025. NSFAS is not selective when giving out bursaries therefore students with disabilities are not exempted from receiving the funds.

Funding for assistive devices follows the same approval process as for financial aid. If you are successful in your application for financial aid and you have received notice of the final approval amount from NSFAS, you may arrange to purchase your assistive device through the student disability unit at your university or TVET college. The university or TVET college can purchase the assistive device on your behalf.

Students with disabilities should download the disability annexure form from the official website of Nsfas. NSFAS will cover your tuition and registration fees and you will also receive allowances such as living allowance, transport allowance, personal/incidental allowance, and a learning materials/book allowance.

If the applicant happens to be a child with a disability, Nsfas has special treatment for them because of their condition. Applications are currently open to the general public, thus South African students apply for the NSFAS bursary. From the 21st of November 2024, the application period will be open and close on the 31st of January 2025.
