What Is NSFAS?

NSFAS stands for the National Student Financial Aid Scheme. It is a South African government-funded program that provides financial assistance in the form of loans and bursaries to eligible South African students who are enrolled in tertiary education institutions. NSFAS aims to enable academically capable students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access higher education and obtain a qualification.

What Does NSFAS Financial Assistance Cover?

NSFAS provides financial assistance to cover tuition fees, accommodation, and other related costs such as books, meals, and transport. The funding provided by NSFAS is primarily in the form of loans, which students are required to repay once they start earning a certain income threshold. However, NSFAS also offers a bursary component for eligible students, which does not need to be repaid.

To be eligible for NSFAS funding, students need to meet certain criteria, including being South African citizens, coming from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, being enrolled or accepted at a public higher education institution, and meeting the academic requirements set by the institution. Students don't need to apply for NSFAS funding annually - and only provide relevant financial and academic information for consideration when asked by NSFAS.

NSFAS plays an important role in promoting access to higher education for students who would otherwise not be able to afford it, and it is aimed at addressing financial barriers to education and promoting social mobility in South Africa.
