All South African students who are currently studying at the public Universities and public Tvet Colleges and those who are yet to apply are all entitled to receive bursaries from Nsfas in the year 2023. Nsfas is not selective when giving out bursaries therefore students with disability are not exempted from receiving the funds.

Students with disability 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 opened to the general public, thus South African students apply for the Nsfas bursary. From the 2nd of November 2022 to the 7th of January 2023, the application will be open.
