Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college students have less than 24 hours to apply for funding from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) applications. The financial aid scheme will end the application period for Trimester 2 on Friday, 9 July 2023.
NSFAS Trimester 2 application period opened on 5 May 2023 and was originally set to close on Monday, 22 May 2023. However, the application period was extended, giving students more time to apply to be funded by the government bursary scheme.
The financial aid scheme provides bursaries to TVET college students enrolled in selected engineering, business, hospitality, information and technology, safety in society, transport and logistics, marketing, finance, office administration, and business and utility courses.
Students enrolled in these courses are encouraged to submit a bursary application before the application period for Trimester 2 closes on Friday.
Here's How To Submit A Trimester 2 NSFAS Application
Step 1: Visit the NSFAS website
Step 2: Click on the “myNSFAS” tab
Step 3: Create a myNSFAS account
Step 4: Click on the “APPLY” tab and complete the sections on the screen
Step 5: Upload all the required documents for NSFAS applications.
Step 6: Click on “Submit” to complete your NSFAS application.
Students can apply for funding online via the NSFAS website, NSFAS head office and at their TVET college bursary office.
NSFAS called on students to ensure their application is completed. This is because many students failed to complete all the steps needed for submitting their NSFAS application.
It is important to remind new applicants to finish the application process before submission rather than just creating a profile and considering themselves to have applied.
Students who are approved for the NSFAS bursary receive comprehensive funding. NSFAS will pay for a student's tuition and accommodation fees as well as provide them with several allowances.
NSFAS will open TVET college bursary applications for funding at different stages during 2023. These NSFAS application dates can be found on the Bursaries Portal.
