The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) plays a critical role in ensuring that students from poor and working-class backgrounds can obtain tertiary education qualifications. 

They achieve this by providing comprehensive bursaries and student loans to deserving students enrolled in approved courses at universities and TVET colleges. This funding covers tuition and registration fees, as well as several allowances. 

NSFAS also pays for student accommodation. This ensures that students can live close to their institution of higher education. 

Students must apply for accommodation on the NSFAS Accommodation Portal.

Ensuring Suitable Student Accommodation

NSFAS will still re-evaluate the accredited properties that were identified not to be meeting the Policy on the Minimum Norms and Standards for Student Housing. Should such properties be found not to be compliant, their accreditation certificates will be revoked.
