TVET Colleges NSFAS
The TVET colleges play an important role in providing South African students with the skills and information required to flourish in today’s competitive labour market. The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) adds to this aim by providing financial aid to ensure that no qualified student is denied an education due to financial restrictions. TVET colleges are educational institutions that focus on imparting practical and vocational skills.
They serve a wide range of industries, including engineering, hospitality, information technology, and others. By providing hands-on training, these colleges bridge the gap between theoretical study and real-world application, preparing students for direct entry into the workforce.
The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is a public entity reporting to the Department of Higher Education and Training. NSFAS provides financial assistance in the form of a study bursary to qualifying students who wish to study or are already studying at TVET colleges and public universities. Applicants who are approved for NSFAS funding are covered for the following:
- Registration,
- Tuition,
- Allowances for Food
- Accommodation
- transport
- Personal care
