NSFAS For TVET Colleges 2026

The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a public entity reporting to the Department of Higher Education and Training. NSFAS provides financial backing in the form of a study bursary to eligible students who wish to study or are already studying at TVET colleges and public universities.

Applicants who are approved for NSFAS funding are covered by Registration, Tuition, Food, Accommodation, transport, and Personal care. Its principal goal is to ensure that worthy students do not miss out on an education due to lack of funding. The program initially targeted college students, but it has now broadened its scope to include TVET colleges in recognition of the critical role they play in closing the skills gap in the nation.
