Nsfas For Postgraduate 2025-2026

Nsfas Application Date For Postgraduate 2025-2026

Nsfas funds a large number of undergraduate courses and initiatives. All South Africans may apply if they plan to pursue undergraduate degrees at Tvet colleges or public universities. However, a frequent question that they frequently have is whether the NSFAS offers financial aid to students enrolled in postgraduate programs. NSFAS indeed provides funds for postgraduate programs, but only for a limited number of courses.

Many master’s, doctoral, postgraduate, and honors degrees are typically not funded by NSFAS. However, an additional option is available to students enrolled in the courses above. Through www.nrf.ac.za, postgraduate diploma, honors, master’s, and doctorate holders can also apply for financial support from the National Research Foundation (NRF).
