The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) has made a NSFAS Accommodation Portal available to students where they can apply for accommodation. NSFAS has now made it easier for students to secure accommodation as a NSFAS beneficiary or a provisionally funded applicant, registered at a University or TVET college.
NSFAS-funded students can now apply for and secure accommodation through this system, which aims to provide safe, quality housing in partnership with accredited providers.
Students can apply for accommodation directly, while private providers can register their properties to be considered for housing NSFAS-funded students.
