Thousands of university students in South Africa are being funded by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). These students were instructed to register for a NSFAS bank account to ensure they have access to their allowances from July 2023. 

NSFAS provides comprehensive bursaries to eligible students enrolled in approved programmes at universities around South Africa. 

In addition to paying a funded student’s tuition and registration fees, NSFAS also provides students with several allowances, including an accommodation allowance, a learning material allowance and a living allowance. 

In 2022, NSFAS announced that it will introduce a new direct allowance payment solution for students. In 2023, this new payment solution was finally extended to include students studying at universities in South Africa. 

The new solution will help students manage their finances suitably and teach them financial responsibility.

The new payment solution will see students issued with a NSFAS mastercard. Allowances will be paid directly to students through their NSFAS mastercard. 

NSFAS partners with four service providers to bring this new payment solution to students. These four partners were allocated several universities to which they will provide services. 

Students At These Universities Must Register With Tenet Technology 

NSFAS warned that students at these universities will not be able to access their NSFAS allowances in July 2023 if they do not register with Tenet Technology for their NSFAS bank account.
