Nsfas Grant Application 2023

 

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) invites applicants to submit grant funding applications for the academic year 2023. Students who require financial aid to begin or continue their education can apply for funding. In South Africa, funding is available for tertiary studies at public universities or TVET colleges (it does NOT cover private institutions).

 

All interested South African students enrolled in public universities and Tvet colleges are therefore invited to submit applications as soon as possible while the Nsfas application window is still open. Beginning on November 2, 2022, and ending on January 7, 2023, respectively, is the application period for the 2023 NSFAS. The application date can be extended to January 21, 2023, due to the Covid 19 virus outbreak.
