Overview
The mission of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is to transform NSFAS into an efficient and effective provider of financial aid to students from poor and working class families in a sustainable manner that promotes access to, and success in, higher and further education and training, in pursuit of South Africa’s national and human resource development goals.
The mission statement is made up of three distinct elements which describe why NSFAS exists, what it does, and the impact on its constituency: NSFAS exists to provide financial aid to eligible students at public TVET colleges and public universities; NSFAS identifies eligible students, provides bursaries, and collects student loan repayments to replenish the funds available for future generations of students; and NSFAS supports access to, and success in, higher education and training for students from poor and working class families who would otherwise not be able to afford to study.
What does NSFAS offer?
A NSFAS loan is the money you borrow to cover the
costs of your studies. The costs include tuition fees,
food, accommodation, books and travel allowances. All
loans are only paid back to NSFAS after you have graduated or left university or college, found employment/ in
business, and earning R30 000 or more per annum. If
you are still studying or unemployed, you are not
required to start making repayments.
At TVET Colleges NSFAS students receive bursaries,
which need not be repaid.
NSFAS also administers bursaries such as the Funza
Lushaka Teacher Bursary; Department of Social Development Bursary; DHET Disability Bursary and numerous
other bursaries from Sector Education and Training
