Detailed question
I am a first time entrant but did not apply to NSFAS as I thought I would not qualify. I have been offered a space to study at a university. Will NSFAS reopen their applications?
Answer
NSFAS will not be reopening applications.
However, NSFAS and universities have put a process in place to ensure that students with firm offers from universities identify themselves to the university as a student from a family earning a joint gross household income of up to R350 000 per annum.
You need to go to the financial aid office at your institution and identify yourself.
Each student will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis between universities and NSFAS.
You will be required to submit all relevant supporting documentation as per the NSFAS’s criteria.
If found eligible, you will be funded.
